If I recommend Python to someone, I don't (usually) care whether he
runs it under Windows or Linux. If I recommend the use of a computer,
I don't care whether he runs it on 220V or 110V. A virtual machine
doesn't have anything to do with the issue, and "install Debian"
doesn't specify _where_. He could replace his Windows, use a
virtualizer, or buy a brand new box for it - makes no diff.
