How can I launch the entire Windows operating system inside Ubuntu. Something similar to Parralel Desktops. Free, please.
The keyword you're looking for is virtualization. There are MANY tools for hosting virtual machines. Ububtu has information specific to it, so you might start there. Other common options are virtual box, vmware, and xen, among many others. All of these have free options.
I'm doing the opposite (an entire Ubuntu box inside of Windows) via http://www.virtualbox.org/
The same thing will work for your case (Windows inside Ubuntu).

I am planning to compile and run code in a linux environment. Before moving to a linux environment I want to try it out, virtual box and dual boot will take my memory. So, after updating my windows 10 anniversary updates, I was able to install bash (ubuntu) natively to my windows 10 through windows features. After installing bash when I try to run bash it's popping and closing a windows immediately. how can I solve this. I tried this with two pc, no luck. How can I solve this issue. Which registry file should I change ?
Turn your windows to developer mode, go to settings -> search for developer, then change to developer mode. Restart your pc. It should work now

I am trying to install Ubuntu on windows using Oracle VM virtual Box from an ISO disk image.When I try to install, the installer gives a prompt that " The computer currently has no operating systems" I am wondering if this should have detected my windows operating system or is it just trying to detect Operating systems within the virtual Box.
The reason being it gives only two options to install
--Erase disk and install Ubuntu
-- Resize partition for Ubuntu
I do not want to erase all files on my windows operating system. Does anybody know what does the 'disk' in the discussion mean>
The installer is looking for OS installations on the disk in the VM, not the host machine. You are perfectly safe selecting Erase disk and install Ubuntu, and in most situations in a VM, that is the correct choice.

I have one question regarding running XCode in Windows OS
is it possible to install xcode in windows 7 machine?
It's not in Apple's interests to let you do that, so they don't make it easy...you could probably use a VM or Hackintosh (I've known devs who used a hackintosh for a while).
Use a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox for example) to run OSX in Windows.

I have a system with two operating systems - Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Now I want to run a program in both Ubuntu and Windows.
To explain better, I want to run the Windows program while I am working in Ubuntu. Is that possible?
You cannot normally run two operating systems at the same time, because both want to take over all the hardware.
There are basically two options:
use virtualization to run one operating system inside the other
run the "foreign" application using some kind of compatibility layer, such as Cygwin (for running Linux apps on Windows) or Wine (for running Windows apps on Linux)

I have a feeling the answer to this is "it's not possible", as I have googled a fair bit already. However, as I do cross platform development I would like to simultaneously work on my Linux laptop in the sitting room, beside the fire, and use the command prompt on my Windows XP machine which is in a different room, the study (colder!). This is because as I change code on Linux I would like to test regularly on Windows.
If I had installed Windows on the laptop I could have used ssh into Linux, but it is a low spec machine so I installed lubuntu instead. So, as James T Kirk would say "there's got to be a way".
install cygwin on windows and start ssh daemon on it. you will then be able to ssh into windows and get a familiar console window
