From the announcement: "Cooperative Linux is like the kernel mode equivalent of User Mode Linux. It relies on the host OS kernel-space interfaces rather than relying on host OS user-space interfaces."

Doesn't this pose a small GPL problem? Would linking the GPL kernel with the Windows kernel-space interfaces be a violation of the GPL? ... Just wondering.

No. GPL section 3 explicitly allows it. This is also dealt with in the FSF's GPL FAQ.
