Indeed it is what is wanted. My understanding is that it does not work
reliably. Of course, I am just passing on rumor. Not a good thing to do.
Seems to ne a YMMV product. But the price is right - free.

For the really strange folk on the list, there seems to be andLinux. Run
Linux as a process on Windows. Not a virtualization. Just a
kernel/KDE/xfce whatever running as a process on Windows. Seems to be
a .exe installer and you are ready. I think it installs an Ubuntu
distro. Can't say I want it when run that way. But in light of this
discussion, maybe it is interesting to someone.
