Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Microsoft Windows that allows for using a Linux environment without the need for a separate virtual machine or dual booting. WSL is installed by default in Windows 11. [ 2 ]
Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Originally developed by Connectix , it was acquired by Microsoft prior to release.
Attempting to suspend a Windows virtual machine with the Sensor Diagnostic Tool running caused the virtual machine to become unresponsive. Using audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest operating system caused a severe echo during both video and audio calls. On the Windows 95 guest operating system, the mouse cursor jumped.
A boot menu in Windows 7 showing options to start Ubuntu, which was added by the Wubi installer. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows the user to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed within a file in the Windows file system (c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk), as opposed to being installed within its own partition.
Xen Project runs in a more privileged CPU state than any other software on the machine, except for firmware.. Responsibilities of the hypervisor include memory management and CPU scheduling of all virtual machines ("domains"), and for launching the most privileged domain ("dom0") - the only virtual machine which by default has direct access to hardware.
Darling, a translation layer that attempts to run Mac OS X and Darwin binaries on Linux. Windows Subsystem for Linux v1, which runs Linux binaries on Windows via a compatibility layer which translates Linux system calls into native windows system calls. Cygwin, a POSIX-compatible environment that runs natively on Windows. [2]
This approach is described as full virtualization of the hardware, and can be implemented using a type 1 or type 2 hypervisor: a type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the hardware, and a type 2 hypervisor runs on another operating system, such as Linux or Windows. Each virtual machine can run any operating system supported by the underlying hardware.
