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.
