No I think the best is coLinux. This is wonderful. You boot GNU/Linux (I
have a Debian distrib) by just double-clinking on an icon. coLinux (if
you don't know what it is) is a port of the Linux kernel (currently the
2.6 version) on Windows. There is no port of X11 for now (read no
graphic driver) but appart that everything is working fine. For the
graphic part I'm using Cygwin/X to connect to my coLinux machine. What I
like very much in this approach is that you have the Debian GNU/Linux
windows mixed with the Windows ones.

So for those that have to have a Windows machine and want to use
GNU/Linux from time to time it is probably the best approach and coLinux
is Open Source.
