In case you missed it, DOS Subsystem for Linux [0][1] was announced on HackerNews. Think of it something like WINE, or, something like DPMILD32/HXRT/HXGUI Japeth's HX DOS Extender, but for Linux on top of DOS. A couple interesting things to note: 1) It needs to run w/o XMS [2], 2) It seems to actually boot Linux's bzImage kernel image [3].
I think DINE (DINE Is Not an Emulator), LID (Linux in DOS) might have been more descriptive names for the project. Reminiscent of the old UMSDOS Linux Distros but maybe not full fledged boot into Linux. Interesting nonetheless.
