>It's not clear to me what the benefit of this over just running Linux is though. The benefit is running Windows itself because the user also wants to use other software that runs better on Windows. E.g. DHH mentions one example in Fortnite: >, and did I mention you can actually play AAA games on the PC? That $2,349 Dell ships with an NVIDIA 4070, which is plenty of power to drive everything from Fortnite to Cyberpunk 2077.

Likewise, NVIDIA 4070 drivers worked on Windows before Linux. If running Windows native software is the main use case, a "Windows machine running a guest Linux os" will be superior usability to the opposite scenario of a "Linux machine running guest Windows os".
