The main drawback of running an OS in a VM is access to resources, say
RAM. First, the host will need some RAM to run itself and any native
programs like a word processor you want to run. The guest can then only
use what is left behind. So if you have only 4GB of RAM and Windows (the
host) needs 3GB to work well. The Ubuntu as guest can only use 1GB of
physical RAM. You may assign more RAM to Ubuntu, but things will slow
down as the hard drive will be used as virtual RAM and things will be
moved between real RAM and the virtual RAM.
