Describe the difference between emulation and virtualization.

What will be an ideal response?

Virtualization uses hardware from a host system, divides it into individual virtual machines, and then abstracts hardware that is the same platform. It cannot virtualize hardware that is a different platform (for example, an Intel platform and a Sony PlayStation) for a VM. Emulation is very different, in that it enables software written for a different platform to run-it does not virtualize hardware.
