Oh, sorry.  Virtual Machine.  Essentially it's software that pretends
to be hardware.  Best known is probably stuff from VMware.  Some of it
is free (VMware Converter and VMware Server), but VMware Workstation
(which is around $200) is worth the money.  Just point Workstation or
Converter at a physical machine and tell it to create a VM from it.
Then end result looks and acts just like your old machine, but will
run in a window on your new machine.

Sounds like a workable system, a bit like a V Disc only more grown up.

I never go towards the light. I screw my eyes up, put my fingers in my
ears and go... "Nah Nah!"

Childish but its worked so far!
