<description><![CDATA[I find it hilarious that it says this can be used to test software by making a copy of your computer then using it as a virtual machine.

1. Windows bases computers (XP and Vista atleast) will lose their activation when the hardware changes in the virtual machine since the virtual machine does not look exactly the same to windows even though it will be on the same hardware.

2. I am pretty sure it is illegal to use two copies of windows with only one license.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mike, Kiwi,Doug A, cbromley--Thank you all for helping educate me on the virtual pc "thang"...it doesn't sound like this is what I need at this time, but I'm glad to have a better understanding of the concept!

I will definitely look at the Paragon Drive Backup suggestion...

I also heard Acronis is good for the image backup, but that it can be a challenge to set up. Any thoughts?

Thanks again!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I downloaded both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions for my various machines, installed and clicked the "Get Free Serial" button, which took me to th Paragon registration page, which I filled out and submitted. It said that I'd receive the registration codes within 15 minutes; two hours later I'm still waiting, and there's less than an hour to go before the validation period expires. What gives, GAOTD?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It actually does SAY it makes it 100% bootable. How I don't know yet, but will find out.
As someone said above, be sure the .msi file you get when you unzip this software today, &amp; save the reg keys, for later installation in case of reformat.
After much learning here &amp; on Paragon site, &amp; VMWare site, I just wanted to say <b> I truly think was the BEST, most useful software both GOTD &amp; Paragon have ever had here! Thank you both! &amp; Thank you commentors who helped us all! :)</b>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ok..  to understand this, and virtualization, I will offer the explaination I use with my CEO to explain it to him properly.

Imagine that you have a large whiteboard.  Let's now say that you have to write down a grocery list on your whiteboard.  You write down your list, but when you look at the whiteboard, you realize that only a small portion of the whiteboard is actually used.

Your computer is the whiteboard, and the grocery list is EVERYTHING that your computer does regularly (surf the internet, read email, etc).  

So.. now, with virtualization, imagine you create an enclosed box within your whiteboard.  A mini-white board, so to speak.  Within this small piece of your entire whiteboard, you write your grocery list.  Now, you create another small enclosed box on your gigantic whiteboard and write down your favorite songs.  All the while, you can STILL use the main whiteboard to do other things, like writing a to-do list. 

In the previous example, the whiteboard is still your computer.  The enclosed boxes (or virtual whiteboards) are actually VIRTUAL computers that run within your main computer.   

Generally, your computer does not use all of the power it has.  Very rarely does it.  As such, you can essentially, run complete virtual computers from within your main computer, and not experience a noticable loss of speed.  This is MOST useful in the business realm where you can run servers that are dedicated to special purposes within one main computer.  But, for home use, it can be useful, too.. as someone above said.. you can surf the internet with one, check your email with another, etc.  The most useful thing, though, is that you can run a LINUX computer inside of your Windows computer.

Now..  in order to do this, you need PC Virtualization software.  Today's giveaway IS NOT THIS SOFTWARE.  VirtualBox, VMWare Workstation or ESX (ESXi), VirtualPC or any number of others are available.  If you do not have any of these pieces of software, then today's GAotD is useless to you.  You can, however, download some of these for free.

What today's GAotD does is basically takes a picture of the computer you install it on.  Then, that 'picture' is able to be run using this virtual environment.  So, to explain this using whiteboards again:

You write your to-do list on a clean whiteboard.  You run todays giveaway on the whiteboard, and you now have an enclosed box with your to-do list on it.  You can now take this to-do list and put it in an enclosed box on your whiteboard and allow the rest of your whiteboard to do other things.

In the end, by running virtualization software, you are able to 'buy' a new computer without actually buying any new hardware.  Today's GAotD will allow you to convert your existing PHYSICAL computer to one of these virtual new computers that you can then run from within your real physical computer.  Confusing, yes.. but incredibly useful, and fun.]]></description>
