There are several ways to run Windows programs on Linux (virtualisation, WINE) and vice versa really isn't a problem either with Cygwin, or better yet, native ports thanks to the Windows variants of Gtk+ and Qt. Still, what if Windows support was built straight into the Linux kernel? Is something like that even possible? Sure it is, and the Chinese figured it'd be an interesting challenge, and called it the Linux Unified Kernel.

Well nothing wrong with this project. Its highly unlikely to ever become an official merge part of the kernel.
In the end it appears just to consolidate multiple Windows-compatibility projects into kernel space for performance.
