There are pros and cons between a native installed system and a vmware system - most of the time the issues arising with the vmware stuff is more often than not related to setup and user understanding of vmware - I've personally never had an issue at all and I've been using it for a while. If I am honest, anyone that uses the USB port to do coding and program is a bit crazy - it can be done without issue, but it can also go very wrong very quickly. If one is limited to only doing diagnostics and occasional system resets the vmware stuff is actually better - to name a few - ability to take snapshots, ability to reset if the system hangs, ability to run emulators, ease of adaptability with various cables ect ect. Wait till you have to update the firmware on the BMW ICOM and it doesn't go to plan, there goes your thousand dollar system - happens all the time.
