RE: [libreoffice-users] MS Anniversary upgrade warning - not LO issue

I'll admit my ignorance on all things VB, but why not run Windows as the host OS and then run Linux 
in the VB?

You mean something like this:

?

Trying to just use an existing partition/install is possible with VB,
but you will encounter issues occasionally. The above is a much cleaner
way to go.

Also, if you have problems re-activating, it is usually very painless
and automated - you call a toll free number, walk through the prompts,
and get a new code to activate. I've done this many times and never not
gotten reactivated, but everyone has to decide on the moral question
regarding the licensing.
