[plug] virtualization remote access

[Marcos Raúl Carot Collins]

One consideration is what do you want to run in Windows...

If it is 3D games that require Direct X 10 or more, or Dirext X 8 or
less, they won't run in a Windows Virtual machine, and even for Direct
X 9 the support in Virtualbox is considered experimental.

If you really wish to run those kinds of games in that machine, and
they do not work in Wine (which uses the same OpenGL to DirectX code
as Virtualbox) then is possible that they won't run in a Windows VM
and you will need to install Windows and then put Linux in a
Virtualbox.

Cheers!
