I thought this was very good for these two to get together.
Where's big Mac? Wonder if it could be done?

Now you can run Linux apps in Windows.
Kindof...Sortof...
Better then dual booting though.

Be sure to check the security warning in system requirements.

Haven't heard of this, since I didn't see it listed on DistroWatch. Another alternative is to run your GNU/Linux apps from within Windows using a Wubi installation. Pretty cool, and it works. The point is that if you use a certain app, such as emacs, on GNU/Linux, you don't want to have to bother with another editor or a duplicate installation of the Windows version, assuming there is one.

f0dder:
The wubi thing requires reboot to run, though - the purpose of andlinux/colinux is to run linux applications natively under windows, by doing ELF loading and system call translation...

cmpm:
Yeah, I thought it was unique and needed it's own space as being different from dual booting.

I've run various Linux, but just keep coming back to windows.
So to have them both without much hassle would be good.
There are some great Linux programs I like.

Being able to work with both OS's programs seamlessly is quite a plus.
Though I don't know how well it integrates with everything yet.....
