A Guest operating system is one that runs on top of another, similar to a program. Guest operating systems are usually run in a "virtual machine", which does not interact directly with the real hardware of the computer.

A host operating system is the operating system that is in direct communication with the hardware. It has direct hardware access to kernel mode and all of the devices on the physical machine. The guest operating system runs on top of a virtualization layer and all of the physical devices are virtualized. A host operating system should be as modular and thin as possible to allow the virtualization of the hardware to be as close to the physical hardware as possible, and so that dependencies that exist in the host operating don't restrict operation in the guest operating system.Read more: What_is_the_relationship_between_a_guest_operating_system_and_a_host_operating_system_in_a_system_like_VMware_what_factors_need_to_be_considered_in_choosing_the_host_operating_system
it is surely a multi user operating system or you cant have your own account and even there will be no guest account either
There are basically four types of operating systems. They include Batch Operating System, Multiprogramming Operating System, Network Operating System and Distributed Operating System.

A guest operating system is considered a third party application. This is when users are allowed to work within an operating system that is shared on a public or private platform. A host operating system is one that a primary user owns or runs. He or she can also turn their operating system into a shared application if desired.

You should refer to the product documentation included with each operating system to determine the minimum system requirements for the guest operating system. Be aware that the minimum required disk space you need is the sum of the required disk space of each guest operating system and the host operating system, in addition to disk space for any applications to be installed on the operating systems.

VirtualBox runs the operating system just like an application on your host operating system. When you give your guest operating system 512 MB of RAM, it appears as though a program is using 512 MB of RAM on your host. For this reason, you can never specify more RAM than you actually have installed, and for stability reasons, you should never specify more than half of your RAM for the guest.
Simple, you install/build a Virtual Machine on your home made operationg system and install Windows as a guest.
XP is a complete operating system, not simply an operating environment.
