Application virtualization allows software to run in isolated containers, even if the underlying system doesn't support the app natively. In this episode, we explore how virtualized apps differ from traditionally installed ones and what technologies enable them—such as Microsoft App-V or Citrix environments. We also examine how this method can reduce conflicts between programs and allow for better version control.

Legacy support is another use case, especially when modern operating systems drop support for older apps or drivers. We explain how virtualization layers and emulators can extend software life cycles and reduce compatibility issues. These topics may show up in questions that describe a user's need to run outdated programs on current hardware. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
