Originally posted by duby229 View PostI wouldn't call it exotic. It makes sense for anyone wishing to play video games on windows through a VM. Right now the only way to do that realistically is to have a second video card, with a second monitor hooked up to that. The only thing I know of that can do it is qemu with KVM.
EDIT: Even then if you have an Intel CPU that had the Virtualization capabilities gimped, you may be SOL.

Well, we use VirtualBox + vagrant a lot at work to get developers who are running Windows, Mac, and Linux hosts up and running quickly with the web-based software that we write (based on jboss, java, and apache and Linux server guests)
What used to take several days and be very brittle is now a 20 minute process, and allows installing old versions for support purposes with ease.
Until kvm works on windows and mac (never), we'll be reliant on some other cross-platform virtualization solution.

Its mainly waiting on Gerd in upstream qemu to get the basic virtio-gpu into qemu. The renderer is doing GL3.3 and has been in some ways secured.
then the libvirt/spice integration needs to be finished, Marc-Andre has added UNIX socket support to SPICE to add this on top off.
So lots of little projects need to move forward to get the integrated end product.
maybe Fedora 23.
