Sounds like a horrible idea! Why don't you just write a linux emulator for

The latter is the most probable scenario, imho.

And that's why Linux should compete Windows and not follow its standards -
does the Linux community hasn't enough power to stand against micro$oft?
Especially that we are not alone - there are also other PC OSes that are MUCH
better than winblowz.

And why not to make such a transition if it saves you from using crappy
software and hardware? Sentiment?
