  <title>Que é unha máquina virtual?</title>

  <p>A virtual machine is a simulated computer running inside another computer.
  The simulated computer is often called <em>guest</em>, while the real machine
  is called <em>host</em>.</p>
  <p>With <em>virtualization</em>, the guest has access to the real hardware the
  host is running. If the guest can run on fake hardware, it's called
  <em>emulation</em>.</p>
