I ran linux under windows a while ago using vmware. It ran pretty well,
it was fairly stable, etc. Of course, as you said, if the windows
machine crashed or rebooted, you were s.o.l.
No conversely when I tried to run windows under linux using vmware of
linux, that didn't turn out so hot.

| Windows to boot.
