Assuming the "Real OS (tm)"'s user knows how to set this up (from a 
non-eunich who uses a pre-installed Linus that apparently doesn't - the 2nd 
distribution that I installed does, and the combination does bad things with 
the BIOS clock).

Have you ever checked your MS EULAs to see if running Windows inside a 
virtual environment is allowed?  (During setup of my latest PC, I was bored 
and actually read it - that is explicitly not allowed for Vista, don't know 
about previous versions.  This despite comments in MS's knowledgebase 
articles that imply it's normal.)
