content: Using Virtual machines as sandboxes applications I just started to realize, Virtual machines have replaced my applications.  It all started back when Windows 10 came out. The need to protect myself forced me to try Linux Mint. I failed the install CD so I ended up with a VMWare Mint install from Osboxes. I used it on a free VMWare player. At a certain point I found back my original Windows XP, so I installed it in another VMWare machine. I want to preserve it for the future  VMWare player did not fit well so I migrated to VWare workstation where I can take snapshots at will and have multiple VMWare machines running in parallel. Today when reading about the new FireFox that it sandboxes part of the code, I realized that my VMWare workstation has become the Browser with tabs that contains different flavors of Linux, Redact OS, Windows XP,.... I even have different versions of Linux mint, one with my email, another one pure for development, this one I use to surf, I think I need one for my porn soon. I literally swap between them because they are all running in parallel.
