My recommendation have at least 1 monitor in vertical as a reading/script/working buffer monitor. the vertical space really helps in reading really fast, i display 125~ lines of code all at once and if my functions are grouped right, i can see the exact flow right there on the screen. it is NOT faster to switch windows, your brain/eyes loses track of where within the document it was last. (try reading two books switching in the middle of paragraphs)

Another big reason I like having screen space is that I can display my required specification/ design doc/ uml/ ms paint, whatever it may be while coding.

This sounds a lot like reinventing the wheel (JVM). JVMs lack the power of a full linux core, but do you really need it? you just wanted hardware access + native threds (JVM has these and more)

Also this sounds good for just 1 App, but what happens when you try to run more VMs than you have physical cores? And/Or memory, this would directly affect the host.
