Reminded me about a time years ago I had to do some c# work in Windows 7. At the time, I found the best Windows laptop experience was running it in a VM on a MBP.

Haha, that's crazy!

I will say that running natively on Windows is still faster but the VM of Windows 10 in VMWare Workstation on Linux is noticeably faster and smoother than running that same Windows 10 VM on VMWare Workstation on Windows 10... it just defies logic!

It's not like it's a Type 1 hypervisor in Linux and Type 2 in Windows (well, I assume it isn't!).
