I have zero interest in running a captive toy linux session on ms windoze. Linux runs best on the bare metal, but running "linux" as a program on an ms windoze peecee gains nothing, but carries costs and risks.
there are very big advantages to this.
think at all the schools and formation instaitutes that use dayly windows machines and don't mind to install linux on then, how can you teach Linux there? the best way is running virtual machine on top of windows.
You guys are missing why industry is so excited by Virtualization and why MS can not allow itself to fall behind. For big business Virtualization is for the data centre. Say you run an insurance company, or a bank. Instead of having Applications running on real machines. You have virtual machines running on server farms of host machines. These VM machines you can dynamically allocate resources to (% of host CPU, RAM, disk etc), if you need an extra server you just spawn a new instance, the system is redundant with virtual machines doing failover to other host machines, when you need extra hardware, it is just a standard imaged host machine, to deploy machines to a Disaster Recovery location is no harder than doing an offsite backup. To be able to mix SUSE and Microsoft in this environment and manage the whole thing with the same tools would be very attractive, for business. Virtualization on the desktop has no place for normal users going about their work in a business environment. Sure it great as a tool for teaching , testing, developing, demonstrating etc, but there is no money there, with VMplayer, VirtualPC being given away.
