Running Windows in VMWare Workstation: I do development work that really has to be done in Windows, so that's where I spend my day. Even on my Windows machine, I keep the dev environment in a Virtual machine so that I can go anywhere with it, or use if from any machine with VMWare loaded.
I find myself having to stay booted into my Windows Drive to run VMWare without a bunch of lag / weird issues. So at that point I just kept working from that drive and don't really boot back to the Linux drive.
I also seem to have a heck of a time seeing files on my NTFS drives from Linux.
Some of this is probably the older Nvidia card that I have, and the fact that I run 3 monitors, and running VMWare on 3 monitors acts weird in Linux.
In case you're not aware, libvirt/qemu/kvm exists, as does VirtualBox. I can't remember the last time I used VMWare.
Same here, virt-manager and qemu makes this all so easy.
