VMware: Lets you simultaneously run Linux, and various versions of Windows. It also lets you run several copies of the same OS at once. This lets you try out new software on an expermental nvirtual machine before committing to it. It also lets you clone your entire system on new hardware without having to reformat disks or run low-level sofware. It is just a file to be copied.
Potentially one virtual copy of the OS could monitor another, checking it for corruption. It would make it much harder for viruses to hide by corrupting system code.
