Yeah, I do agree. It just bothers me that they're trying to pass off emulating a Linux installation (under Windows hypervision) as "installing" and refer to a true install as "bare metal", as if your Windows installation isn't. But it does give new users a chance to try it out.

Virtualization is not “emulating” and a bare metal install is a bare metal installation. These are standard terms. And it’s a hypervisor, no idea what the hell a hypervision is.
