You just have to install the host operating system and a virtualised one and
install all your application on the guest OS -- on the virtual machine the
"hardware" does not change ;-)

(someone was talking about multi-virtualised hardware, so the virtualisation
works on the virtual memory feature of the CPU+HostOS, then the GuestOS has
it's own VirtualMemory Manager... and then you run a .NET or Java app on it
etc :-)  But who cares? We have enough CPU power and as mentioned earlier we
are able to do the same thing as with the Apple II but with a bit
complicated way :-) )
