I had a similar experience, but working the other way round - I was using Ubuntu as the base system, and a Windows VM for MS Office stuff. It was a real pain, TBH: navigating in and out of the VM was clunky, moving files around, etc. In case anyone's wondering, I did try using Wine, but that was even worse, I'd get weird screen update problems, things would go black, etc. Libre/Open Office wasn't an option either, the client was 100% MS including Project, and compatibility was (and is) a serious issue.
