NSMA, please don't hijack other people's threads to ask your questions. I've moved your post to a thread of its own, in a more appropriate forum, as it isn't a security issue. Also, you really should exercise some web searches, as this information you seek is all over the place. Then you could ask more specific questions instead of asking people to explain things to you "from scratch".

Short answer: The "VM" in VMWare stands for "virtual machine". The SW establishes an interface which--to the guest operating system--looks like a generic PC.

Long answer: Enter "virtualization" into a Google search.....and maybe at Amazon.
