Main advantages of using this tool is you do not need to burn any more cds to test it on your computer. It uses the QUMU emulator and the software will map the ISO image and virtually run it on your existing Windows. MobaLiveCD is portable and it’s below only 2 MB.

MobaLiveCD has similar functions like VMware and Microsoft’s Virtual Machine but the very lite applications and the simple user interface is far better when we need to quickly simulate a Live CD.
