Running Windows in a Linux Virtual Machine
by bill - 2017-04-17 ( education / tech / computers )
I'm going to try running Windows in a virtual machine after installing Linux on my PC, as per these instructions: superuser.com. It'll probably suck (because Linux sucks), but after all of NSA's Windows backdoors were published online (somewhere, look it up), I'm almost afraid to use my Windows machine. I use my iPhone and ChromeBook as much as possible (even though the NSA probably has backdoors into those, too). I prefer Windows, and not just because my Windows PC has two monitors. It's the only device that I consider a REAL computer.
Don says, "Bill, to give Windows access to your USBs, install Virtualbox Guest Additions."
