Default OpenBSD in virtualized environment

Hello to all,

I am new on this forum and to OpenBSD. After spending some time on the openbsd.org website, and reading other material, I would like to start experimenting with openbsd. I am currently running ubuntu 14.04 on an Acer S3 series laptop. I would like to install vmware on this machine and install openbsd on it, before I do a permanent install. What I really want to know is, if running openbsd in a virtual environment is a good way to test for hardware compatibility (e.g. processor, wlan, graphics, etc...)l? Are there any pitfalls of learning openbsd in a virtual environment VS doing a direct install? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
