VMs were not viable yet in 2001 for an entire underlying OS stack like this in the way you might be thinking on end-user hardware. I think VMWare was just coming out, and Xen wasn’t released until a bit later.
So, as per the video, it installs an .img file. the fact that in 2001 that wouldn’t be possible explains the whole “can’t get back to windows without a system reboot” thing.
