Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] Just a thought related to Unix and Windows together

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. In view of Microsoft's claim they may want to try and charge a high amount to continur with win 10 and monthly fees for windows 12 etc here is an idea that might tame them a bit and I think you coule pullit off.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Right now those on Windows, many who have a great dislike the way Windows jams new programs down our throats out with the attitude of here is something new and you are going to use it, instead here is new feature we made would you like to try it. Looking at the bloat ware you and those helping yo made, really outstanding, thank you, with that in view; I was wondering what would happen if you made a program the ran in Linux with the idea to automatically set up a virtual machine and guide the user through installing a windows version into the virtual spot along with the bloat ware for window such that people could run windows in linux but at the same time maybe prove to people they really could use linux and get to know it. The idea here is to give as many people as possible exposure to Linux, hopefully show them that they can use Linux for a lot of things they do on Windows and get rid of Big Brother with his Baseball bat approach of do it our way we don’t care attitude. Hopefully Microsoft would cool their jets a bit and start offering updates instead of jamming them down our throats, perhaps they would take an approach of let’s get this software running right before we put it out there so we don’t have to so many intrusive updates destroying what people trying to get done. This idea isn’t a let’s get Microsoft thing as much as it is a let’s give Microsoft a reason to change their business plan to a kind of what can we do for the customer rather than what can we do to the customer appearance which would also give them much nice view of who they are; might help them become what they can be instead of what they are kind of thing. I think taking this approach would bring more people over to Linux when they see that they really can learn it and they can also a Windows running in an environment that helps make Microsoft less intrusive and dangerous to what the user is trying to get done as far as destroying things right in the middle of a job. I think we could bring the two together and make it easy to learn and use which would perhaps make Microsoft say something like we need to become much more user friendly and aware because we are losing customers to Linux because people who don’t know Linux have no reason to take the tie to get to know it but by setting up Linux to run Windows in a virtual machine people might just see that Linux is a fairly good OS as well and you not pulverized by somebody beating up your projects every Tuesday.
