A computer can still operate without virtual memory (virtual memory is just hard drive space that is set aside to allow the computer to swap data to and from actual RAM). It is just that on a modern multitasking system things could slow down if you have a lot of things going on and the system is reaching its memory limit. With virtual memory turned off a system with minimal memory will tend to really slow down a lot. It may not be as bad on a system with lots of memory (like 2GB or more).

How does a virtual machine appear to a hypervisor?

A virtual machine (VM) appears to a hypervisor as a self-contained, isolated environment that operates like a physical computer. The hypervisor manages the VM's resources, including CPU, memory, and storage, by allocating these resources from the host system to the VM as needed. Each VM has its own virtual hardware, which is simulated by the hypervisor, allowing multiple VMs to run concurrently on the same physical machine without interference. This abstraction enables efficient resource utilization and enhanced flexibility in managing workloads.

A virtual terminal is basically a software that is run on your computer, where you input credit card information when making sales. Think of it as a point-of-sale terminal hardware, without the hardware. Your computer needs to be connected to the internet so that the credit card information is processed through whomever you use as a merchant account provider.
