VMs are a pain to use, especially when you have switch between your VM and your native OS all the time. Plus, you have two OSes to maintain.

- wutbrodo 14y agoI agree with the maintenance point but as far as the "switching" point, it's worth noting that even the less-fancy VMs have supported guest-OS applications inside standalone host-OS windows for a long time. This is particularly convenient for the case described in which the guest OS is used for only one or two applications.
