Re^2: Why is Windows 100 times slower than Linux when growing a large scalar?

You can install Ubuntu into a file on the Windows filesytem (See Wubi). No need to create an extra partition.

This will also not overwrite the Windows-Bootloader (as GRUB et al. do) but use the Windows-Bootloader to start Ubuntu.

Btw, does anyone know what happened to the "Linux In a Window" (under Windows) that i recall from the day of Win98?

Btw, does anyone know what happened to the "Linux In a Window" I've never heard of that, but VirtualBox runs Ubunto in a seemless window on a win32 or win64 desktop, which is very convenient (and free). Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. RIP PCW It is as I've been saying!(Audio until 20090817)	[reply]

There is CoLinux, which is a port of the Linux Kernel (and some userspace) to Windows.	[reply]
