andLinux - Run Linux natively inside Windows
This is a most wicked idea: to be able to run Linux applications on top of your Windows desktop, without bothering with partitioning, dual-boot configurations and other stuff normally involved in running multiple operating systems!
If you like this concept, then you must try andLinux.
More about andLinux ...
You must be wondering what andLinux is like. Well, it's very different from many other software solutions you have seen so far:
You can think of andLinux as a desktop-integrated virtualization. On one hand, you have a complete operating system running emulated on top of your Windows. On the other hand, you can run individual Linux applications just like any other program in Windows, outside the virtualization sandbox. In this regard, andLinux is somewhat similar to VMware Unity.
So you have virtualization (thick and thin) and emulation blended into a crossbreed. Lots of things bunched together. You must be thinking andLinux is hard, don't you?

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

re: andLinux
Seems way too complicated - just setup VMWare and then you can run any Linux Flavour in a real Virtual Machine and not risk any spillover from one OS to the other.
