Cooperative Linux allows the use of native Linux applications without having to switch operating systems, rebooting, or using more resource-consuming full virtualization solutions. It also ensures continued full compatibility with Windows applications
Cooperative Linux removes the problem of unsupported hardware like network adapters / modems, since they are mapped to Windows drivers.
As Windows is still running, you do not gain the benefit of a more secure operating system
As Windows drivers are still used, the system isn't any more stable.
Using Cooperative Linux isn't seamless; it requires several additional applications like an X Server and PuTTy to access the running kernel and launch applications.
Cooperative Linux does not currently support 64-bit Windows systems, which are becoming increasingly common.
Cooperative Linux is somewhat difficult to adapt existing distributions to.
As it only supports Windows 2000 and later, it isn't practical to use to adapt older computers that are still capable of Linux but came with Windows 98 or ME.
great question :) :) :) advantages: free, upgraded frequently and each update requires MUCH less time that on windows or Mac, no viruses threats, more control to your computer,can run windows...
Advantage #1 - Stability If you have used other operating systems, once you have made the switch to Linux, you will notice that Linux has an edge over Windows here. I can remember rebooting Windows...
The main "disadvantages" of Linux are primarily social / political, not technical. Because Linux is not as widespread on the desktop market, manufacturers are reluctant to produce drivers for...
