[Discuss] Boot issues on Thjinkpad W520 with SSD -- resolved

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

There are not may reasons to use Windows, but there are a few important
ones. If you need high performance graphics (such as for some games) any
VM is going to interfere with performance. I don't think that most
consumer level VM systems provide that level of support. I know that
vSphere does.

The bottom line is the use should determine the setup. I have no need
for Windows, so I run Linux native. If I want to use Windows 7 or
Windows 8, I can download it from MSDN.
