If you are a windows user and you want to try linux without using dual boot or a virtual machine . As you know, in the dual boot, the user can run only one operating system at a time, while using operating systems in virtual environment there are chances of getting the machine slower due to overload. To use Linux and Windows simultaneously, we have an excellent option in the form of andLinux. andLinux is nothing but a full-fledged Ubuntu Linux system that can run seamlessly on Windows 2000 OSs like Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and 7 (32bit).

I used andLinux on my work XPialidocious box back in the day, and it worked great. But this project has not been updated for many moons, and should not be promoted in its present state.

It's no surprise. Those who want to run linux run linux. Projects like andlinux inevitably wither and die from lack of interest IMHO.

Perhaps the same fate with Microsoft Virtual PC ?? Among its best known websites are http://microsoft-virtual-pc.software.informer.com/ and the link off of this, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/

OTOH, Canonical's Windows Ubuntu Installer (Wubi) might be around for awhile. Its website is https://launchpad.net/wubi

No, its website is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ and it's alive and apparently well.

That software.informer.com thing is a plague.

Now a day they have VMWare and Hyper-V for Windows (but I prefer the other way around, linux as host and Windows on top). KDEWin is a very good candidate and active, article should had been about this: http://windows.kde.org
