To me this is upside down. Why take a great OS like Linux and force it to be run underneath Windows. What would be wrong with Windows running underneath Linux?

Or better yet, Windows apps running natively on Linux (Visio, MS Project)

Yup. Duel booting is preferable for computers with average or better CPUs as Linux has multiple configurations designed for low demands. Did one myself after reading people’s problems with that - just a matter of resetting the boot sequence. But I’m an idiot.

I’ll answer that... NOTHING. They are trying to steal it and claim it their own as proprietary. It has already been predicted that MS would try this if we let them try to integrate or support anything Linux period. Soon it will be “well from what I understand, you cannot use Linux unless you have windows to run it?”.

Watch, here it comes...

The proper way to run windows is as a VM under Linux.
