> "Portable Ubuntu for Windows is a Ubuntu system running as a Windows
> application.
>
> This system is built with the Colinux Kernel, Xming X server and Pulseaudio
> server for Windows."

> I haven't tried it, but it sounds like a pretty smooth experience for
> Windows users, with an application-like installation and no rebooting.  It
> seems similar to a VM experience, but instead of standalone virtualization
> software, it uses cooperative drivers for the host.
>
> Is anyone interested in a closer look?  It seems like a lot of moving parts
> and may not be suitable for integration, but seems a very interesting
> experiment.
