Perhaps avoid dual-booting or VMs in environments where you need both Linux and Windows. This sounds either a bit like CoLinux, or like the POSIX subsystem rev

Perhaps avoid dual-booting or VMs in environments where you need both Linux and Windows. This sounds either a bit like CoLinux, or like the POSIX subsystem revived. Remember: Windows has kernel support for different userspace APIs, and the well-known Windows API is just that: A user-mode subsystem running atop the kernel (there have been OS/2 and POSIX subsystems before).
