Sometimes, you really do just need to run a Windows app on Linux and perhaps WinBoat might make this easier with its promise of seamless integration.

    You’re probably thinking of LXCs, which are containers not virtual machines

      No I’m talking about VMs. It’s the baloon kernel driver which also works on Windows (though needs separate installation). It doesn’t work quite like containers though. The hypervisor dynamically adds/removes memory to the VM depending on total memory usage of the hypervisor.
