This answer makes no sense. You still need an OS. This thread is about
replacing XP, which has reached EOL. Your answer is incomplete at best.
VirtualBox doesn't run windows programs. It runs OS's in a virtual
environment. Further more, some people can't take the performance hit of
running their application virtualized.

It may additionally surprise you to learn that some things actually run
better under wine. The Eve Online client, for example.
