This is a totally different type of VM than VMWare makes.

This is what's called a process virtual machine, and they make application virtual machines (I think).

Basically, this acts as a small CPU-type-thing and interprets instructions. Theirs emulate whole operating systems.

It's similar to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or the .NET CLR VM if you're familiar with either of those.

Think VM as in JVM.
