Virtual Machines? Of course they aren't 100% perfect and they need more cpu power than a real computer.
Lately, I tested Teamspeak 2 (the voice-chat program that runs on everything between Win98 and Win10) on Linux. And it worked within a WinXP virtual machine, that can connect to the internet. The VM was VirtualBox.
Some applications need direct hardware access.
This: a lot of old DOS-Win9x games require direct access, hardware acceleration/DirectX (or Glide API) support tends to be rather patchy in VMs, etc. etc.
Your best bet is something like Bochs/QEMU/KVM or PCem/86box, though there could be something else available here too.
