And you would want to develop for Windows using a virtual machine because...?
Let's see... worse performance, no improved security because we're talking Microsoft here, no cross-platform capability... yup, sounds like a winner.

Most people that have poo-poohed the stability of Microsoft's platform haven't:
Tried a professional or better version; there's a reason they cost more even if they don't run that CGA poker game you copied off of someone else in high school
Gone through the training necessary (i.e., read a book) to install and maintain Windows in a work or enterprise environment
Used the stable of tools designed to ease and enhance deployment of Windows technologies -- Windows Terminal Server, Norton Ghost, etc
The fact is, one can choose between the compatibility offered by many Free operating systems and the tuned performance of Windows much as one can choose between a SUV and a racecar -- but if you can't operate a racecar it's probably better to go with the SUV.
