yeah, its not something i'd use on a day to day basis, just as a toy for
the novelty/geek factor.

on the desktop there was a zip file containig an ext2 driver for windows so
i can acess my linux partitions like any oth drive, very useful

I did yes. Although very impressive, I find the idea of running a desktop
environment on top of Windows a strange one - I use Cygwin/XFree to run X
applications (of any type) on Windows - I don't want to have another
menu/tray etc. This is why I use Openbox under Cygwin/XFree.

Now, full remote sessions - that's another story... As an aside, I see KDE
are including XP like remote desktop in 3.1 (
