I remember in college, we were asked to do UML and User diagrams and we'd sigh. It was fun when doing but the background process of figuring out how things worked, was a headache (at least for me). Well, telling someone who's least interested to be there, to sit and draw "boxes" is a bad move already.

But it was neither easy nor quick (It is still an option, but one in many.). So, Virtual Machines were introduced where we could run another OS as if it was running on its own independent hardware, so as to allow time-sharing among several single-tasking operating systems ...
