It implies that you can run windows, and run a virtual machine with linux in it, in windows??? and it implies that this is more stable than running windows on its own?????????

Yeah, there's been a number of distros (Corel, PhatLinux, WIN4Linux, etc.) that run on top of Windows.  I've done Corel (it was optional at setup, so I tried it), and I've gotta say it worked, but it was SLOW.  Also, I'm a bit skeptical about what would happen if Linux locked up or X crashed while running on top of WIN; it's a happy thought, but I don't think anyone's ever going to get it stable enough to trust as a perminant setup.

yes, it was, wasn't it?

that makes it doubly stupid that you chose to post it.

Posting a link with no other comments isn't too good in my opinion, it makes it really stupid if there's not even eany point ot the link, and it makes it completely moronic if the link has already been brought up (as you say, that was one of the more prominent links on the page i originally mentioned).

Still, keep it up if you like. I was beginning to enjoy it when you started posting real posts of your own opinions, but it was too good to last obviously.
