For the first time, Apple is allowing owners of OS X (client version) to run multiple virtual copies on the same machine.



From MacRumors:

Previously, Apple extended this ability to Mac OS X Server only. Running separate instances of Mac OS X should be possible under virtualization solutions such as VMware Fusion and Parallels. This functionality allows you to deploy different sandboxed installations of OS X, typically for enterprise purposes.
