So this program is basically a virtual computer. It immitates a computer. Runs the Operating Systems (such as Windows XP) that you give to it.

This is of course less time consuming than having to format your system (yes, even quicker than quick format). You can do this, because when you tell Virtual Box to make a new 'virtual disk' it will make a fictional harddisk for you, with some GB on it (15 GB for example). It then represents your harddisk that is needed for let's say Windows XP. You then have a 15 GB .iso image on your real hard drive.

What is it

Virtual Box is a program that emulates (immitates) a computer environment by letting you install Windows on that program and letting it launch Windows from within that program (much like when you start your PC).
So this program is basically a virtual computer. It immitates a computer. Runs the Operating Systems (such as Windows XP) that you give to it. You then see your Windows XP inside a window, much like you see a notepad window, or any other window on your desktop. In this case it's the Virtual Box window.

History

This concept is called 'virtualization' and it was needed because it is a lot cheaper and you need less resources.
For example, if the Windows installation that is on that virtual box is corrupt or messy, you can simply delete it and make a new one, like nothing happened.
This is of course less time consuming than having to format your system (yes, even quicker than quick format).

You can do this, because when you tell Virtual Box to make a new 'virtual disk' it will make a fictional harddisk for you, with some GB on it (15 GB for example). It then represents your harddisk that is needed for let's say Windows XP. You then have a 15 GB .iso image on your real hard drive.
You can delete this .iso, containing your Windows XP, when you want.

Purpose

So, finally, my point is that you can test software inside the operating system that is given to Virtual Box.
'Box' is a slang (dialect) for 'computer' (much like the PC tower you have; i.e. analogy 'box').
Thus it means 'Virtual Computer'.

I hope that this was somewhat a good explanation for you, HP 2.
