Although some game vendors have been slow to adapt to mobile/web-based gaming, Electronic Arts - known commonly as simply EA - has been extremely busy in its quest to stay relevant in a market as fiercely-contested as it has ever been.
There's no doubt that we're forever indebted to our gadgets and gizmos in helping us through our day-to-day tasks. Whether it's a smartphone, tablet, notebook or computer, most of us utilize one - or a combination of a few - of the above in order to get things done.
It wasn't that long ago when users had to wait an eternity for the developers over at Mozilla and Google to push out new versions of the popular Firefox and Chrome web browsers. In fact, pretty much every major browser version seemed to have an extremely long shelf life before the developers felt it needed an update and brought new and improved features to the public.

If you're eager to dabble around with the build in a virtual machine - perhaps due to the lack of a non-production machine, a spare partition, the fear of using it in a production environment, or, well, if you just want to install it in a virtual machine - then you're in luck.
