c. In your opinion, what are two benefits of using virtual machines?

d. Include here your screenshot of your host computers Task Manager, while Virtual Box was running. What is the additional CPU and RAM demand on your host computer compared to when Virtual Box is closed? In your subjective experience, did running Windows as a virtual machine seem to be just as fast as running it on a physical computer? How would you describe the performance difference, if any?

e. Find the folder containing the data for the virtual machine. It is usually on your hosts C: drive in \Users\username\Virtual Box VMs, but you may have to search a bit. How much space does the folder actually take, compared to how much space you allocated to the virtual machine?
