Win4Lin Experience?

[Eric Richardson]

Hi,

I saw a thread about Win4Lin on the Debian list and thought people might
be interested. It seems to be a very good alternative to dual boot and
reasonable in price. Buying a piece of proprietary software to run M$
doesn't seem like a contradiction so perhaps more people could get to
use Linux.

If anybody has any experience with this here are a couple of questions.

1. It seems that it may want to replace the kernel, do they add their
own kernel module compiled in or change the Linux kernel or provide a
kernel module?

2. Do they have a Debian installer so the standard package management
tools can be used.

In other comments appreciated. Here is the url for the thread and
company respectively.
