VirtualBox is a powerful open-source full virtualization software that allows a user to run one or more “guest” operating systems simultaneously inside “virtual machines” on a single physical “host” machine. It supports a wide variety of host platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, etc.) and guest OSes, enabling, for example, running Linux on a Windows PC, running Windows Server on a Linux host, or even legacy OSes in a controlled environment. This flexibility makes VirtualBox ideal for developers, testers, sysadmins, or hobbyists who need different OS environments, want to test software across systems, or need isolation for development, sandboxing, or security experiments. ...

86Box is a low level x86 emulator that runs older operating systems and software designed for IBM PC systems and compatibles from 1981 through fairly recent system designs based on the PCI bus. Easy to use interface inspired by mainstream hypervisor software. Low level emulation of 8086-based processors up to the Pentium with focus on accuracy. Great range of customizability of virtual machines. Many available systems, such as the very first IBM PC 5150 from 1981, or the more obscure IBM PS/2 line of systems based on the Micro Channel Architecture. ...

v86 is an open-source x86 PC emulator that runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly for near-native performance. It translates x86 machine code into WebAssembly at runtime, enabling users to boot and run full operating systems without installing anything locally. The emulator supports a wide range of legacy systems, including Linux, Windows 95/98/2000, FreeDOS, and various experimental OSes.
