Does using a virtual machine save any data on the host pc such as webpages, chat logs etc
Thanks.
Physically yes, logically no. The virtual machine operates on a logical volume that exists on the physical hard drive. Everything done through the virtual machine is saved on that logical volume, which physically exists on the main "C" drive. Hope this helps!
It is possible to have a virtual machine use a physical disk rather than a disk image. In these conditions, the VM would read and write files as if the machine was booted from the target drive.
Parallels and VMWare fusion are both capable of operating on Bootcamp volumes on Mac computers.
It is also possible to mount or share host drives with the VM, so again it could be possible for the VM to read and write files that are not contained within a disk image file.

Agreed. I kept it general and basic because there were no sepcifics provided, as any virtual environment can be configured differently.
Thanks for the info
