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.

Why not OSX? Free and OpenBSD (not sure about Net) have Linux binary support already.. So what would be wrong with Linux getting BSD (Darwin/OSX) support?
NetBSD has had Linux binary support for ages. There was also work on Darwin binary compatibility on NetBSD, maybe someone will resurrect it one day. It got far enough to run X:
