My plan is to work with the CoLinux team to integrate CoLinux in to Windows and ReactOS as a POSIX subsystem. They are very interested in working with us on this project and have linked to reactos.com on the website.
My entire experience with CoLinux has to do with Dan Aloni grabbing me at a random hall a few weeks ago and telling me about it (actually - the first he did it was about half a year ago, but he really got my attention, making me late for a meeting, this time around).
While it's certainly an exiting project, I understood that it was NOT based on the Windows subsystem mechanism, but rather hacking your way into Windows NT's ring 0 using a device driver. While I'm a great fan of "if it works", wouldn't it be nicer, long run, to have a proper subsystem of it?
Also, what are you planning on doing with graphic applications? CoLinux works by running a X server on the windows machine. That's probably not the best solution there is. How is the ReactOS windowing back-end implemented?
