A customer approached me about a specialty application

but it is froth with issues.
So I was thinking of porting his Windows to qemu-kvm
if he really wanted Windows. But better yet, just
put in new hard drive and pack up his old drive in
a static bag for safe keeping. He has several
computers, so he can run his windows stuff of
various other computers.
When I first got into Linux I set a dual-boot system, but I soon
realised a few things:
I rarely used Windows any more, and rebooting was a huge pain. It
interrupts whatever you're doing, and adds big delays.
I never got into virtual computing, or emulation, my PCs were too
underpowered for that. And I haven't used Windows for probably over 15
years, so hadn't tried since.
But, unless you really needed to cram everything onto one PC, it was
usually far more efficient to have completely standalone PCs for each
one (operationally, and debugging-wise).
Ya. Well stated
