Limitations and effects of running virtual machines inside another
Theoretical question:
I'm sure that anybody who has ever used a virtual machine has posed themselves the question: "Could I run a virtual machine inside another" - This has been asked before on this site, namely here
The question however deals with having one virtual machine running inside another. I however would like to know whether:
Running a virtual machine, say Windows 7 in a Ubuntu Linux virtual machine on a Windows 8 virtual machine that is located on a Linux Mint virtual machine, that is having up to, and more than 4 virtual machines to be running inside one another. :D - I'm sure there are several RAM manufacturers that would be glad for such a situation. ;)
Running a virtual machine causes a slight delay in it's usage, perhaps the aero effect on Windows is slightly delayed because of lack of RAM, I'm wondering whether the final machine, in the situation described above, it would be Windows 7 - would have the delay/lag four times as long/big as the Windows 8 Virtual Machine. Would the delay be maximized exponentially?
An illustration of my proposed theoretical system:
Native OS (Linux Mint) running a virtual machine of Windows 8 (non-native OS) which is running a virtual machine of Ubuntu Linux (non-native OS) and is finally running a virtual machine of Windows 7 (non-native OS)
Note: Any virtual machine program can be used here, this is purely theoretical and questioning the limits of it. :D
This is also my first question on this site, so don't bite. :)
