Because this software runs directly on your computer and not within a browser, it can make your local computer's hard drive and USB storage devices available directly from within the virtual lab. This software also makes it easier to move virtual lab app windows around and run more than one virtual lab app at once since they appear directly on your computer screen and not within a browser window.
