The only unanswered question is why anyone would *want* to run linux
from windows.

Sure. All the *good* stuff from Linux has already been ported to native
Windows. </troll> ;-)

I once saw a full PC/x86 emulator as a Java applet. Took some minutes to
boot a basic Linux kernel and ate a lot of memory, but sure worked!

Typically because you want to quickly do something that's trivial under
Linux, and you don't fancy spenting 4 weeks searching for an equivilent
Windows tool to do the same thing.
(E.g., you try finding a tool that can compute the MD5 sums of all the
files in a given folder and write them into a text file. Under Linux,
this is trivial. Under Windows... well, there's a CLI tool that will
compute the MD5 sum for *one* file, but you try scripting it to process
several...)

sfk can do that trivially. used it on a whole tree. unfortunately it
doesn't like unicode characters in filenames, so it missed a few dozen. :(

Don't you mean equivalent?
Anyways, my comment had a hint of "why would anyone want to run Windows
in the first place?"

Oh, come on Warp, you should have known by now that this is the
preferred way of spelling in his spell chicker.

Maybe to do with the vast amount of software that only runs with Windows?

I get a meaningless error message for colinux-daemon --install-driver
so it isn't working for me. I'll have to try it on a non-emulated 32-bit CPU
before giving up entirely.
