Currently, true.  But I have run the 0.6.0 release in the past.  See 
the section "Installing coLinux 0.6.0 on Windows 2000" towards the 
bottom of the page:

Here's the top of the README from the 20040429 snapshot:

Cooperative Linux 0.6.x - 'starting to be stable' test binaries 
-----------------------------------------------------
WARNING:
Although this binary release of Cooperative Linux may be actually 
useful onsome setups (e.g, stable setups), it is meant for testing 
purposes only, which means that running it may crash your Windows 
system.

IMHO, coLinux can be a useful tool.  Although it does have its flaws, 
it allows me to run and test Linux and Linux applications on a Windows 
machine, while Windows is running.
