You can use VMWare, and use several OS's at one time.

But why? You can only use ONE at at a time. Guess he did it so he can
say that he does. I've had up to 11 on one but it sucked to do anything
on. And what the heck is SkyOS?

Running multiple versions of old pre-95 Windows isn't a trick either,
it's actually a waste of HD space in my opinion. Pre-3x is mostly
non-GUI menu based Windows anyway.

Guess it's his machine, he can do what he wants huh? I have most of the
OS installations that he has but I doubt I'm going to commit a machine
to all of them. Most of the old DOS stuff gets weird on a machine with
any decent speed too, as do many old programs that were compiled in the
8088/8086 and 80286 eras.
