Although, like Larry said connectix's product could help windows users try
out linux. Newbies aren't going to want to build their own posix
subsystem with cygwin just to try out a linux app or distro. If it's
faster than vmware, it will be good. I hadn't realized at the time of my
last post that it was a windows version of their acclaimed macos product.
(I'm stupid). Should be good, but $199 is pretty steep for many ms users
who just want to try out an alternate os without partitioning or even
rebooting.
