coLinux: Linux kernel for Windows

This is way geeky cool:

Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software…

The coLinux site also links to a project called ReactOS, which is an open source effort to create a Windows-compatible operating system from scratch.
