Virtual machine in a browser

Nowadays, when everything can be virtualized, it is not a surprise that developers created a virtual machine in Java. The project name is JPC. By using this program you can run the operating system on a virtual machine running inside the Java virtual machine. Therefore, it is a double virtualization that gives a very high level of isolation.

As in the case of well-known programs such as VirtualPC or VMWare, we can use the virtual machine to install any operating system. Such operating systems as DOS, Damn Small Linux, Feather Linux, and Windows 3.0 can run on this machine without any problems. In case of other systems, the program still contains some bugs. The program supports the basic hardware such as a keyboard, mouse, hard drive, video card and network interface. Due to double virtualization, the overall performance is not high (around 20% of the actual processor speed).

The program can be downloaded in form of jar file from the project's website.
