I thought that the point of writing Windows or Microsoft in a
different way was to avoid web engines to get this posts when searched
for the correct forms.

Running you critical servers on Virtual machines may be good when you
have to upgrade them.

Wine, I never like it. The idea of replacing the libraries of a close
proprietary system that has patches almost every week and a new
release often scares the hell out of me.

For the OP,
with virtuaization you want get read of Windows, but you'll be able to
run them both at the same time on the same machine (I use it to run
Autocad on my laptop)

And for me the thing is you'll have to find a comfortable way to have
different files for the same project on different trees and systems,
and probably how to share and/or backup your data.

I use libvirt, your hardware also support it fine. I like libvirt to
run and manage a VM on a host with no X system.
