The emergence of virtual machines has solved many problems for netizens. The most obvious one is testing. Many software that people dare not use, and those related to safety such as fear of viruses, are all put on virtual machines, which has solved many problems. Then what is the principle of virtual machines?

A virtual machine is an application running on a Windows or Linux computer. It can simulate a standard PC environment based on x86. This environment is the same as a real computer, with devices such as chipset, CPU, memory, graphics card, sound card, network card, floppy drive, hard disk, optical drive, serial port, parallel port, USB controller, SCSI controller, etc. The window providing this application is the display of the virtual machine.

In terms of use, this virtual machine is not much different from a real physical host. It all needs partitioning, formatting, installing the operating system, installing applications and software. In short, all operations are the same as those on a real computer.

It can be seen that virtual machines are virtualized from the computer hardware and share your computer's hardware. Friends who have used virtual machines all know that when building a virtual machine, you must allocate memory and hard disk space for it. And when you install the system on the virtual machine and run it, you will find that the memory it occupies during operation is the memory you allocated to it. This will cause a problem. If you allocate too much memory, the host will be stuck, and if you allocate too little, the virtual machine will be stuck. Moreover, once you allocate the memory, the virtual machine will occupy such a large amount of memory when running. In fact, the memory occupied by running a software is very small, so a lot of system resources will be wasted. Then, can virtualization be carried out from software? That is, virtualizing a PC system as well. When you use how much memory and space, it will allocate for you. In this way, the utilization of resources will be greatly increased.

The following introduces a virtual system software that is virtualized from software, Hopedot VOS Express Virtual System. It is completely isolated from the host. All operations in the virtual machine have no impact on the host and will not leave any traces on the host. It is completely trace-free operation. And its biggest feature is that it can be installed on a mobile hard disk and USB flash drive, and occupies very little memory and space. When you go to the company or other people's computers, you just need to insert your own USB flash drive, run your virtual system on the USB flash drive, and you don't need to worry that there is no software you want to use on other people's computers. And it is completely isolated from the host. Once you pull out the USB flash drive, there are no traces left on the host.

Why have I been seeing introductions to hopedot vos recently? It seems like advertisement posts. Now advanced virtual machines can already achieve dynamic memory allocation, so the landlord's assumption is not valid. Moreover, the statement in the title is incorrect. Generally, an operating system running on a USB flash drive refers to a system booted from a USB flash drive.
