Microsoft now promises that you can run Windows on your Linux PC

Why would I want to do that? I can just use Linux for 99.999% of everything I need. When I need windows, I either restart this laptop to win7pro or use the tablet with win7pro as a scantool and for auto repair info software. I can create and edit any file type that Office can, including pdf files. Win7pro is never allowed to connect to a network or the web and I have updates completely turned off. Runs like the day I installed it. Decent but way slower than Kubuntu.

You can run Win on Linux through VBox (there are others, but I haven’t used them before) without having to reboot. Win actually boots/runs FASTER on Linux in VBOX than if you actually rebooted (and ran) to Windows.
