My socket on the mainboard is too old for dual core processors so this means that real time is not useable for me. But I will try it anyway, not only because it's being worked for 3D Acceleration for QEMU. Greets, Jonas Many thanks for the explanation, now I understand that.

Unlike wine, which tries to provide the windows API so that you can run windows programs natively, virtualization means virtualizing the whole OS; you run Windows in a window. This means there's no issue with compatibility with Windows programs; all Windows programs run, because you're running Windows. Downsides: it's slower than running it in Wine or dual-booting. However, if you have a processor that supports virtualization extensions (Intel Core Duo, Athlon x2), Feisty includes a kernel module called KVM (Kernel Virtualization Module), which allows you to run OSes in QEMU in almost real time. @Jonas,

I read a lot about it. With what programs could this be done? Is there an easy guide for it? Does it mean something like Wine but using usual Windows stuff instead of these API things? Thank you Virtualisation… I read a lot about it. With what programs could this be done?
Is there an easy guide for it?
Does it mean something like Wine but using usual Windows stuff instead of these API things?

Thank you
