How would this help windows specifically, or are you thinking steam+wine? In which case presumably steam+wine on Mac would have lower perf overhead.

If your thinking involves a windows VM under linux you’re SOOL, as that has the same problem as an win/x86 vm on Mac: it’s a full system emulation - eg qemu, etc
