      Are you paying for a Virtual box commercial license? They change for every employee in the company not just active users.

      Just use KVM and be done with it. You can get the Windows guest drivers and addons from the Fedora project

        Ok so I guess I am the stupid because I always assumed kernel-level virtualization meant that you were limited to guest OS’s that used the Linux kernel. I was drawing incorrect connections to Docker

        TIL

          I think it should work with some version of the Q35 chipset, if not PC should work. But Wine might be a better option if you just want to run some old version of office (or frankly just use LibreOffice)
