andLinux runs in Win2000 based systems

http://www.andlinux.org/

andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only). This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed.

andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.

andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.

Mmm, very interesting.

Interesting - so one can develop applications for Linux and Windows at the same time without using a virtual machine environment...

but it won't have the same security as a 100% pure Linux system...

Its a good start though get linux slowly creeping into window's environment

Wish they would release a version that works on 64bit system.

I doubt this, you won't get one binary to run in both environments.
Unless you mean one windows ide and one linux ide running at the same time. Although, you would then need more arms, extra brain and clever kvm setup for it to be "at the same time"
