VM

The internet slang term/abbreviation “VM” stands for “Virtual Machine.” It refers to an emulation of a computer system that enables users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. Virtual machines are commonly used for various purposes like testing software, running different operating systems, or creating isolated environments.

Examples:

1. I’m running a Windows VM on my Macbook to access some of the applications that are only compatible with Windows.

2. My company uses VMs to simulate and test different server configurations before implementing them in our production environment.
