andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only).

andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.

andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.

Also as usual. Microsoft nasty business practices. I wonder if Microsoft has ever created something from scratch.

More headaches for Balmer

One new survey of more than 1100 IT professionals from small, mid-sized, and large IT organisations worldwide has revealed that an astonishing 84 percent have absolutely no plans to upgrade to Windows 7 during the course of the next year – and that in the face of some pretty encouraging and enthusiastic reports from beta testers so far. The company which commissioned the survey, KACE, tells us that the leading concerns cited for this no adoption/slow adoption strategy were software compatibility, cost of implementation and the current economic environment. It also says that concerns were apparent across IT departments of all sizes. 72 percent indicated they were actually rather more concerned about upgrading to Windows 7 than staying with an outdated XP operating system.
