One reason you might want to do VM-ed Windows is if you have
applications which run only under Windows, and equally you have users
which have applications with run only under Linux.

So you could have two boxes beside every desk, generating heat,
needing care and maintenance.
Or you could use Intel's new VD-T technology plus Nvidia Multi-OS
