Some genius funded by the Japanese I.T. research council has developed
a way to turn a complete Linux distro like Knoppix, into a double-clickable
icon on the Windows desktop, so that you can run Linux on Windows, natively,
without dual-booting:

Sounds to good to be true, eh?

The only downside is you need to install driver(s) to make it work,
which means, like most useful programs, you can't install it if you're
at work or school and they lock down the machines to prevent you installing
stuff.

But unlike Cygwin you don't need to recompile anything, and unlike
VMWare and Win4Lin it's totally Free.

Check it out!
