I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.

I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?

    I’ve been a Linux user for a long time. I started to use a lot of open source free software alternatives because of this, and most of them had Windows binaries.

    But I always had a dual boot system only for gaming purposes.

    So… I can’t think of any software other than games that’s educated la Windows only.
