I definitely need a solution like this.

My parents could call them for software help (where are my bookmarks, can't find the photo from my garden, etc).

And my parents need answers on US-time --- not Japan-time.

This eliminates my original virtual machine requirement and satisfies the software leg of the support problem.

Excellent!
