Yes, I think this is more an issue of working from the command line rather
than a difference between Linux and Windows. In either case, if you use
desktop shortcuts, you can run whatever you like. At the command line, I
sometimes set up a script that conditions the path to run the version I
want.

Ah, this is where we started. Will you accept that it is working for some
people on some windows installations? Here is a list of combinations I've
already run myself...

    NUnit built with 1.1 running under 1.1
    NUnit built with 1.1 running under 2.0 using config file 
    NUnit built with 1.1 running under 2.0 using /framework:2.0.50727

    NUnit built with 2.0 running under 2.0
    NUnit built with 2.0 running under 1.1 using config file
    NUnit built with 2.0 running under 1.1 using /framework:2.0.50727

One thing - if you try to use BOTH the config file and the /framework
option, the config file is honored.

If you'd like to pick a particular combination that does not work for you,
we can go into the details.
