Now we are done with talking about haircuts (David: when do we get to see the new haircut?)
Windows runs just fine on a Virtual box in Linux. I'm using it all the time and I usually have 2 or 3 running at the same time for different projects/purposes. The best thing is that I can copy the virtual machines over to a new Linux PC without re-installing!

Having it run "just fine" does not mean perfectly. It's still not a true Windows environment from hardware to software. And when you're a developer like me that makes a huge difference. Network stability issues, driver framework issues, etc, etc.

Don't twist my words! If you are pushing the limits you'll alway find a problem somewhere. I have tested running Windows from a virtual machine thouroughly over a period of 2 years before switching. Even timing sensitive things like programming microcontrollers (toggling pins on a USB device) works flawlessly. The biggest problem I found is disk flushing which stalls the VM for a while (depending on cache settings) but I solved that by using an SSD.

... and who doesn't love the haircut?
I would describe it as: not having a haircut.

Strictly speaking, yes!  :-+
