This thing is very stable so far. It is not virtual machine style like VMWARE but UML style so one needs hardware drivers implemented for each class of hardware. It currently has block device and network, the two most needed.

That said, one cannot use USB device like webcam etc. as there is no driver for it.

But then, I was able to rip a DVD from within colinux using mencoder, then play that under XP using the DivX player through a samba mount, pretty geek.

It can be installed as a service so I can have it started when my XP started, I can make full use of XP's power management(suspend to RAM, wake-on-lan).

three thumb up.
