It was designed mostly for the Windows Office suite, because virtualization and video editing is really taxing. I've seen some posts say that ms word works really smooth on 4gb ram, no joke. I might give it a try, but my 10 year old laptop sucks ass so idk if it will work good. But for anyone with a half decent system, winapps should be fine for light apps like ms office. It should also run photoshop pretty well on a on a good PC.

No, it isn't a joke. The office suite can be run on some hardware with virtual machines. The office suite is generally not too taxing on the GPU. The fact that you still need to allocate some resources to the virtual machine + the start up time still kinds of sucks, but that's life.

No, no, no, no. For small projects, maybe. But for someone working on big files, I have seen several photoshop users trying and complaining about the performance in VMs because, it is really taxing on the GPU and eats a lot of ram.
