I recently found this boxed copy of Linux for Windows from 2001. But what is it?!
VMs were not viable yet in 2001 for an entire underlying OS stack like this in the way you might be thinking on end-user hardware. I think VMWare was just coming out, and Xen wasn’t released until a bit later.
So, as per the video, it installs an .img file. the fact that in 2001 that wouldn’t be possible explains the whole “can’t get back to windows without a system reboot” thing.

Thanks for teaching me something new today :D
