<span class="gmail_quote"></span>The thing Markus stated is another way of having multiple OSs in one computer, but the hosting computer should have some optimal hardware (RAM in this case) in order to run at least two OSs.
<br>If your hardware is *powerful* then WMWARE is the solution, but if not it's better to resize your partition. In short, there is always a way to get what you want! :))
