Have you tried Hyper-V for Windows guests?  Is it any better?

Thanks. That makes sense.

Of course making the vm "tickle" itself often keeps the clock current :-)

Linux in a vm is more stable than windows in a vm. Linux in a vm is as stable as Linux on iron. Windows in a vm is less stable than windows on a physical system.

I have noticed this also.  My "official" work env. is windows, but I do as much as I can on Linux.  It works much better for me to use Linux in a VM than the other way around; Windows just doesn't like it nearly as much, where Linux more or less doesn't care.

YMMV, of course.
