Virtual Machines. They're good to use (IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING), but if you have no clue then you're kinda fucked.
It's not really the OS installation that's painful, but rather the fucking WiFi connection (If you're using an OS that's really REALLY old, which is my case specifically [Windows XP]).
Now, should I explain how awful it can get to set up WiFi? Probably.
Let's say you're using a Windows XP VM for the first time. You set it up, only to realize that you need to connect it to the Internet, so you go through hoops and fail again and again and then search up answers only to get the most COMPLICATED ANSWERS SINCE THE BAKING PROCESS OF WENDSLEYDALE CHEESE.
And then you follow the instructions only to realize that you need a DRIVER and speed through MORE hoops.
And then it works.
After all that pain from trying to simply feel old, you did it. But then you tell yourself "this was a waste of my time, but at least it's all over."
