Ok, I am interested but I am still unclear about what this buys me over VMWare.
Do you mean that I can use an existing Windows tool, for example a favourite editor, and use it to transparently edit and save files that Scratchbox under andLinux can use?
Can I use Windows Explorer to manage the files that andLinux controls?
Or are there still 'two worlds' to manage by copying files back and forth if I want to use existing Windows tools?
Aside: Having recently started to use WinSCP and set it up to actively monitor file changes on my Windows box I am wondering why we don't do the bulk of development right inside the Tablet and just have a convenient editor and screen on whatever host you like to use and let the two operating systems mirror files back and forth in the background. This is probably a stupid idea, but I have never liked remote development systems that emulate their targets.
