So...it's a Linux emulator to run on NT?  Let me get this straight.  You're
going to want to... reduce a nice fast operating system to a death crawl and
induce the BSOD periodically.  Oh yeah, and pay a hundred to several hundred
dollars to Microsoft, and whatever it costs to the company that provides the
emulator, all for the priviledge of something that looks and feels like a
free Linux system. Sounds great.

Is this a twisted approach to getting around stupid corporate policy
politics?  ("You can't run Linux on your workstation, this is an NT
shop...")
