Some BTC projects do not have yet or ever desktop client for Windows.

If I wish to use them, I need a virtual machine software.
But I would use it only to run a small software client and keep running other programs in the mother-OS so I would like to keep it lightweight.

What lightweight VM client could I use on a Windows OS?

Cut the VM part.
You can simply install a dual-boot Grub menu for Ubuntu/Fedora/CentOs depending on your level of easiness and memory limitations.You get to choose which Os to run while the start-up.Plus it's always exciting to use Linux over Windows anyday.

My solution for this problem was a virtualbox with Linux and then docker containers for each coin project inside the box.

Sun VM is good for this purpose https://www.virtualbox.org/ . Install latest Ubuntu to it and you are set to go !

If you want to use a VM you'll probably have to live with virtualbox, but you could install Xubuntu for a more lightweight version of Ubuntu. You could also look into Cygwin if shell is enough and you can life without a GUI.

I managed to solve it by using Boxfuse. This service creates a small Linux-image for your project and can contain + host it as well.

If you are interested, you can read much new and exciting information of immutable infrastructure, the principle Boxfuse uses too.
