Looking Glass is an extremely low latency KVMFR (KVM FrameRelay) implementation for guests with VGA PCI Passthrough. It lets users use a Windows virtual machine from Linux with very low display and input latency. The recommended setup uses the Looking Glass Indirect Display Driver in the Windows guest and the Looking Glass Client on the Linux host. The Linux client is distributed as source code and must be built before installation.
Looking Glass is open-source software for responsive, low-latency display and input, released under the GPL 2.0 licence. It brings a Windows desktop into a Linux window and is used with a KVM VGA PCI pass-through configuration without an attached physical monitor, keyboard or mouse.
PCjs Machines offers online machine emulators written in JavaScript. It runs DOS, Windows, OS/2 and other vintage PC applications in a web browser on desktop computers, iPhones and iPads. Emulations also cover microcomputers, minicomputers, terminals, programmable calculators and arcade machines, alongside an archive of historical software and documentation.
Denodo Test Drives are free cloud sandbox environments for exploring data virtualization with the Denodo Platform. Each test drive contains a preconfigured solution and a step-by-step guide for demonstrating how data virtualization works across multiple data sources without replication. The page lists test drives for Agile BI and Analytics and for Data Catalog and Data Science.
OSBoxes provides ready-to-use virtual machine images in VDI, VMDK and VHD formats for VirtualBox and VMware. The site offers images of Linux and Unix systems that can be downloaded and run as a virtual machine on a host system, avoiding installation alongside the main operating system.
v86 runs operating systems such as KolibriOS, Linux and Windows 98 in a browser. The page lists many emulated systems with details on interface, architecture, status and source, and provides filters for family, size, license and language.
Hyper-V documentation from Microsoft covering the top level functional specification and APIs for developers. It describes interfaces used by guest software to detect a hypervisor and query its capabilities, features and version information, including CPUID leaves, model-specific registers and hypercalls.
