Guest Operating System

Guest Operating System: The individual operating system that runs inside a virtual machine, which can differ from the host operating system and other virtual machines on the same host.

Why It Matters: Guest operating systems allow for the execution of different applications and software on
the same physical machine, providing flexibility and isolation.
