I use Qemu for virtualization. Not much different that VMware but it is
open source if that matters in this instance. There is virtualbox that
you can use for virtualization too. If i were you i would keep a small
windows virt for use with your company - i used to do just the same.
They have a portal that requires windows. I think you can even get
windows 10 for free under some circumstances. Not sure about this i had
a windows license owned by my company.
