  A team of sharp developers at Microsoft has been hard at work adapting some 
  Microsoft research technology to basically perform real time translation of 
  Linux syscalls into Windows OS syscalls.  Linux geeks can think of it 
  sort of the inverse of "wine" -- Ubuntu binaries running natively in 
  Windows.  Microsoft calls it their "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
Sounds a lot like Rosetta [0], which Apple used to transition people from PowerPC to Intel.
