What about cygwin, it allows you to install Debian and its applications directly over windows, and can be removed at any time. Try it sometime.

I have a Windows XP Pro host on my desktop with Debian testing as a guest, the though of always having to boot Windows is disgusting. And Debian is not as peppy as when it has it's own partition and 1GB of memory.
When you reach your first million dollars, you won't want to stop there, you'll want more, not less.

He said he wants Linux installed over Windows, presumably so that he can keep his programs, documents, and settings, and so he can switch instantly between the two, am I correct?
