How can an application be made to run on multiple operating systems?
You can install a second operating system in a virtual machine, and run it as a virtualized application within your host operating system. You can connect to a separate machine running a different operating system (e.g. through SSH or VNC) to control that machine from within an application running on your PC.
What could be the possible reason if an application software is not compatible with the hardware?
Compatibility issues come up when users are using the same type of software for a task, such as word processors, that cannot communicate with each other. This could be due to a difference in their versions or because they are made by different companies.
Why are operating systems so complicated?
Operating systems need to control a computer’s hardware and run its application programs (that control the OS). The features expected by the applications (and operators) have become vastly more numerous and complex. Users expect high and consistent performance. That accounts for most of the additional complexity.
What is the name of the software that let you run multiple operating system on one physical server?
Virtualization software
Virtualization software — programs that allow you to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single computer — allows you to do just that. Using virtualization software, you can run multiple operating systems on one physical machine.
What do we mean when we say that programs are not compatible with each other?
Software incompatibility is a characteristic of software components or systems which cannot operate satisfactorily together on the same computer, or on different computers linked by a computer network. They may be components or systems which are intended to operate cooperatively or independently.

Is it easy to make an operating system?
Most users can write and boot their own operating system in just a few minutes, all using Visual Studio. Milestone 5 includes new features such as an integrated project type in Visual Studio, and an integrated debugger. You can debug your operating system directly from Visual Studio using breakpoints.
