No, because you still need the Linux distribution.
bump for later..
Plus you still need to run Windows also.
FYI, most aren't from the US.

Not if things keep going to their plan, you won't need any US software, ever again. At least not any you have to pay for.
Red Hat is the Linux market share leader at about 50%. Red Hat is American.
I doubt it's 50%, and it's definitely dropping. Why wouldn't it, when they give it away for free? The Chinese rename it Red Flag, in case you didn't know. What do you think is bound to be #1 in China and Asia, Red Hat they have to pay for, or a free copy labled "Red Flag" instead?
Is CoLinux supposed to be able to run XWindows? Got to the command line. Guess I can practice shell scripts or something. But I really haven't had time to play any more with it.
I don't really know. Since I never boot up into Windows, I haven't installed it.
I'll let you know then.
Much easier to run Linux in a virtual machine. Though running as a service does have a certain geek factor to it.
"Windows" and "honest" do not belong in the same sentence...
If Netraverse ever comes out with Win4Linux 5.0, all the problems of Windows XP will be solved for good. Windows will run within a Unix kernel. And Bill Gates will be wondering why he didn't think of it first!
Wrong again. Windows just hides that complexity from the user using file associations. Every time you start up, say, an Access database by clicking on the database itswelf, the system actually performs a comand very similar to the one shown above.
In this case, there are no file associations for the linux images, so the user must enter in the command himself.
If you don't know what you are talking about, please refrain from criticizing.
CoLinux is only the Windows code to run the Linux kernel as a process. If the version of Linux you have decided to run with CoLinux has X installed and configured, then yes it will run.
Think I downloaded Gentoo Deluxe onto my laptop (where I installed CoLinux).
I don't know if that has it or not. I worked from home today so I didn't need to fire up my laptop to check it out.
On a side note, I've been trying to decide which distro to run on a regular basis. I've downloaded several and installed into XP (Virtual PC) to try out.
All are working well but I've been trying to get SuSE 9.2 and all the mirrors I've checked out either SUCK or the download is corrupt.
If anyone knows of a speedy site from which I can download SuSE 9.2, I'd appreciate it.
I personally like Fedora Core.
Yeah, I loaded up FC3. Need to start working with it.
