of course it cannot run everything.

and most things it can run will not run with default settings, you have to do some work to get it working.

Running a virtual machine uses a lot more overhead, costs a lot more (buying Windows) and has lower performance... but yes, its much easier because its real a real Windows OS just like the software was made for.
