What 12 does that mean? For one thing, it installs on your existing Intel or 13 AMD-based computers, whether they are running Windows, macOS, Linux, 14 or Oracle Solaris operating systems (OSes). Secondly, it extends the 15 capabilities of your existing computer so that it can run multiple 16 OSes, inside multiple virtual machines, at the same time. As an 17 example, you can run Windows and Linux on your Mac, run Windows 18 Server on your Linux server, run Linux on your Windows PC, and so 19 on, all alongside your existing applications. You can install and 20 run as many virtual machines as you like. The only practical limits 21 are disk space and memory. 22 </p> 23 <p> 24 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is deceptively simple yet also very powerful. It can 25 run everywhere from small embedded systems or desktop class machines 26 all the way up to datacenter deployments and even Cloud 27 environments. 28 </p> 29 <p> 30 The following screenshot shows how <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>, installed on an 31 Apple Mac computer, is running Windows Server 2016 in a virtual 32 machine window. 33 </p> 7 <p>Welcome to <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.</p> 8 <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is a cross-platform virtualization 9 application.
