Cygwin vs. Colinux vs. VMWare?

For the geeky folks running a non-windows operating system on a windows system, what are you using, why, and do you like it?

I just found colinux, which looks good, and I’m installing mysql on it now. I’ve used cygwin and it’s just a pig, and things don’t work so well there.

VMware costs $$, and also isn’t really great either (I’ve had stability problems). What do folks think about these three?
