What is the actual real-life basis for your question?

I have some programs that won't run under WINE or in Virtual Box.
Actually very little runs correctly under VB and I'm not proficient
enough in WIN to troubleshoot.

I had to re-read what you said when you called 'Virtual Box' 'VB' -
'Visual BASIC' has been 'VB' for much longer, and, well, initial confusion. >>
I've never had ANY problem running Windows in a VM on an open source
host (such as Linux or FreeBSD). Not sure why you would say "very
little runs correctly under [Virtual Box]'.

Maybe he uses only products requiring "3D" accelerations in newer versions that VirtualBox does not yet support?

The "very little", though, is boolshit.

Your experience, not mine. But this is about dual-booting, not what runs
under Vir.Box.
