Virtualisation

Image file?!?

So it doesn't operate as if it were the actual OS?

I thought it was an emulator..

no it still operates as if i were the os, it just stores the virtualised os in a dynamically expanding image file.

Anyway, back to topic.

How does this pan out with where the OS is actually installed? Do they all need their own partition?

Cus I'd really love one computer with like.. all the OS's

Well not all.. But I'd have like DOS Win98 NT XP Vista Win7 OSX Leopard Linux Ubuntu etc.. :P

That would cost alot, I dunno how much all the OSes would cost but it would be alot

plus surely like Windows 98 is cheap as chips, if it even costs these days.. they could hardly sell it for anything like what they sell XP and Vista.

I suppose, but as it will most likely be only available second hand, if people are wanting it, they will want it for a reason, and therefore will go for a reasonable amount.
