Using Linux VMs

I was just thinking if this is possible:

Can I use linux as my main os and then run windows on linux as VM. And then also have multi VMs of other OSs for other stuff. One for games, one for work etc. 

 

Can this benefit me other than just using windows for everything?

At that point, just dual boot it.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
