The comments were made to contrast with Linux which can crash, but seldom does
if you are using stable releases. Linux does not need routine maintenance such
as defragging the hard drive or cleaning the registry which Windows boxes do. As
for security, it may be improved but it is still an ongoing headache for Windows
users who are forever patching, rebooting, running all kinds of resource hogging
antivirus, antitrojan, antimalware, antispyware programs in the background which
are by and large unnecessary in Linux. Certainly if you do use anti-anything in
Linux it is discreet and requires little effort once it is setup. And in Linux
you never need to reboot a Linux box unless you do a major upgrade and even then
it is optional and you are never pestered every ten minutes to reboot.

Therefore my comments stand. It is preferrable to run Windows on a Linux box
than to do the reverse unless you have good reasons for doing otherwise. Also
keep in mind that Linux can read and write to NTFS and FAT partitions while
Windows is still pretty blind and dumb when it comes to reading EXT or Rieser
formats. It can be achieved through third party programs, but the OS itself is
not capable. It has been a long time since MS promised greater operability
between Linux and Windows platforms, but they have failed to deliver on their
promises.

I posted the article as an aid for those who want to try it out. It is not a
panacea. There will be problems which ever way you choose to go. I prefer the VM
route for many reasons. The best one is that you can clone them and start over
if Windows becomes infected or the registry corrupts.
