It may work assuming the virtual machine is very faithful to Windows but it won't give you access to the LINUX environment. It may be possible in some machines to run essentially two computers independently and have one access the other, this would probably be still a very unusual computer however there isn't really any point. Usually one will run LINUX to take advantage of any of it's special features so then restricting yourself to the limitations of Windows buys you nothing.
Running a virtual machine so you can have Jaws, might as well run a Window machine. You will only be able to run Windows applications.
