Hello.

I know this question or a similar one has probably come up several 
times, but I believe virtualization to be a moving target...

I'm evaluating running a Windows 2012 virtual guest on a FreeBSD host.

Anyone else is doing it? With VirtualBox? Is it stable enough? Is 
performance acceptable?
Given enough hardware power, is this such a bad idea?

Guess it isn't a "very good" idea, but in this situation I found no 
other option that i fully like.

  bye & Thanks
	av.
