    Android-x86 is an operating system that is built on x86 arch while the programs compared here are Android emulators present as a desktop service.

    With the use of virtualisation (such as the listed VirtualBox and VMware Player, but also other virtual machine programs) this can theoretically run absolutely any Android app, without letting it know it's being virtualised.
