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.

I could just imagine trying to mix Microsoft patented and copyright technologies into Linux distros. That is all we need. Next thing we would be sending payment to Redmond every time we install a Linux distro.
This sounds like an attempt at a quick fix that would invite nothing but time sucking problems, security issues, and legal disasters into the pristine Linux landscape. Keep your distance with that stuff! it aint goin' on my box.
