The download page on Sourceforge for this reads:

"This is a very preliminary source-only release.  It is mostly for peer review, but with some effort it can be compiled and run.  Please note that Cooperative Linux is not yet stable on some processors and hardware configurations." 

So, it's very early pre-alpha.  However, I wonder what the usefullness of running Linux/Windows concurrently would be.  Most people fall into one of three camps - those who run Linux because they love it and don't want to use Windows, those that run Windows because they love it and don't want to use Linux, and those (developers, geeks) that run one of the two and still need access to the other.  For those, VirtualPC or VMWare are much better, more flexible solutions I think.

Throw Services for UNIX (now free from MS, by the way) into the mix and you have yet another option for interoperability.

Am I missing something obvious here or is this just one of those "I wanted to see if it could be done." projects? 

 

Wesley Felter pointed me to this one: Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively.
