Ali, I can't speak for which VM to use in Windows, but I run VM's all the time for testing out GNU Radio on different versions of Linux and they work fine. There have been issues in the past with I/O to devices; specifically USB2.0 support. These have almost certainly been worked out, but I bring it up as something to keep an eye on when deciding which VM to use.
