This is a wonderful idea. I have some doubts, though. It might not provide a seamless experience.
Just transforming Windows syscalls into Linux syscalls is not enough. There should be some form of emulation involved.
Many apps, like games are using hardware, that means some additional layers of emulation.
>Imagine we made a new Linux distro. This distro would provide a desktop environment that looks close enough to Windows that a Windows user could use it without training. You could install and run Windows applications exactly as you do on Windows; no extra work needed.
I a rough user experience, some loss of performance and many bugs.
But I hope I am wrong, because the idea sounds really promising.
