My entire experience with CoLinux has to do with Dan Aloni grabbing me
at a random hall a few weeks ago and telling me about it (actually - the
first he did it was about half a year ago, but he really got my
attention, making me late for a meeting, this time around).
While it's certainly an exiting project, I understood that it was NOT
based on the Windows subsystem mechanism, but rather hacking your way
into Windows NT's ring 0 using a device driver. While I'm a great fan of
"if it works", wouldn't it be nicer, long run, to have a proper
subsystem of it?
Also, what are you planning on doing with graphic applications? CoLinux
works by running a X server on the windows machine. That's probably not
the best solution there is. How is the ReactOS windowing back-end
implemented?
