Hi Juergen.

The main reason that I persuaded previous employers (my current employer is 
very enlightened despite the response he got on this list) is that I ran and 
run Windows in a qemu virtual machine.

Another thing is that you can run the program that a user is having problems 
with in a safe environment: e.g. a complete dupe of their current machine!

AND: I can apply patches and *REALLY* rollback.

Those people that don't have Windows crash should consider themselves 
fortunate: in environments with more than 250 machines, at least one *will* 
fail every single day: it is obviously because of the *bad* drivers, despite 
the fact that the other 50 identical machines are having no problems.....

Having said all of that, you really should have suggested to your boss before 
doing the dirty deed and you should eat humble pie before going further with 
this: and you CAN.

All the best
