[PLUG] Linux Pipeline | Review: CoLinux Allows Windows, Linux To Share PC

I found this link while cleaning out some old mail, so it is not new.

Does anyone have any experience with coLinux?

It seems to be the inverse of win4lin, i.e. with coLinux, it seems, 
Linux runs within Windows whereas, with win4lin, Windows runs within 
Linux.  I haven't tried either product, but friends who have tried 
win4lin report that Windows "appears to run better" when launched is an 
app in Linux.  When it does crash, you just relaunch it just as you 
would any other Linux app that segfaults.  Because the system is already 
up, loading Windows as an app is reported to be faster than using 
Windows to boot.

My concern is that running Linux *under Windows* puts Linux on an 
unstable platform, vulnerable to Windows' whims and crashes.  Any 
experience there?
