Win4Lin

Anybody else out there using this? My buddy has it and thinks it's an excellent product. Essentially, it takes win9X, installs it, makes Linux do all the hardware calls, and makes win98 into an application. If it crashes, just reopen like that. The best part is that there isn't any speed loss from just running it in straight windows. I'm oversimplifying it so read up here:

Some are going to take offence at the notion of this thing. It basically is trying to make it so that some of the Open Source efforts have been minimalized. However, I think it's great. Why limit yourself to just 1 OS? Win98 was the one that I liked. WinXP was the one I don't like. Linux + Win98 sounds good to me (as bastardly as that sounds).

Thoughts?
