Of course it does, but that's not exactly the same thing, now is it?

- dogma1138 11y agowhy not? with parallels or a similar transparent solution why would you care? Heck most modern solutions even setup all the environment variables and paths so you barely even notice that you are on a different file system when you using them.
- tracker1 11y agoHonestly, it's kind of annoying... firing up a Windows VM cuts my battery life significantly. Ubuntu behaves itself. That's just the start... I do a lot of .Net development, and more JS/Node development... I don't miss VS or windows most of the time.
- e12e 11y agoWhy would you pay for two OS licences when you've got an OS you're happy with? Sure, you might choose an OS based on the applications available (eg I strongly preferDebian GNU/Linux because of apt-get and xmonad) -- switching OS to use a tool seems like a bit of a stretch though. If you like the MS toolset, by all means use Windows. But using a vm for especially a gui program (which then interacts poorly with your os ui) seems like a sub-optimal solution?
