Hi all, I have a bunch of Linux Distros Im wanting to test out, and also the CP of Windows 8. I know its not practical to Partition and its Time Costly using Live CDs; so, my question is, if I was to run VBox or VMWare to run the ISOs in, what are the drawbacks of not using "native" hardware ? I understand that there may be speed issues but what other quirks should I know about before I begin ? Also, as I said, Im planning on using VBox and the 30day Trial of VMWare, is there any Distro ( and Win8 ) that will run better in one and not the other ?
