The Virtual Desktop
The Virtual Desktop is a sandboxed operating environment inside of which you can run programs and browse the Internet without fear that those activities will damage your real computer. Applications running in the Virtual Desktop also leave no cookies or history behind on your real system, making it a secure environment for Internet banking and online shopping. It is also ideal for visiting any risky websites/links and for testing out beta/unstable software.
