Virtual Machine vs. Virtual PC via MacCentral >Yikes! We had no idea what a debate we would start with last week's column. In it we mentioned the discussion among Rhapsody fans as to whether Rhapsody's Blue Box is an "emulator" or a "virtual machine." (The Blue Box is the environment that lets Mac OS applications run in Rhapsody.) Apple says it's a virtual machine. I said I didn't think it mattered as long as it worked. But dozens of readers wrote in with technical explanations about why it DOES matter. This time, I'll share some of those responses with you.
