Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for interactive software demonstrations. While a presenter demonstrates software to the participants, the demonstration may be 'paused' and 'resumed.' When paused, the participants are able to interact with the demonstrated software program. When “resumed,” the participants are not able to interact with the demonstrated software program. Spawned virtual machines, wherein the virtual machines control access to the software program being demonstrated, permit participant interaction.
