Foreign LINUX: Running Unmodified Linux Binaries On Windows

I don't really see the point. (Except from it being a challenge for the programmers...) Open source software can just be ported and run natively.

That's kinda cool, although what I would really like to be able to do is replace the desktop shell of windows with a Linux desktop environment, like enlightenment or openbox or something, and make the windows look and behave like a linux machine, but with the ability to run windows binaries natively.

Some 10 years ago, one colleague mine have a mac pro...
He used MAcOS above a vm in parallels with windows, and above cigwin to use gcc to compile the projects...
Well...He declared him self like a "smart guy", BUT the reality is that he was a "brain dead guy"...
the MAC pro almost stop at every processing needed...I never saw an "amount of stupidity" together in the same room and worst from the same person, from the people who I am used to work.
3 weeks ago, I find a VETERAN SysAdmin with problems with the thousands of KVM machines he was Runing..
He asked me for help, I said OK.
I lost almost 3 Hours, trying to find the problem he said exist, and in the end, the problem was behind the keyboard or...HIMSELF...he was using a MS windows computer to administrate Unix Like machines...
This is the first feeling that you have... a newbie starting to work... Of course, when you use a Windows machine to deal with Linux environment, a lot of things can go bad...the question that I made to myself was...
"Those this guys, have EVER been a Linux SysAdmin"?
You can try but you can never achieve the same productivity, in Windows, administrating or programing to Linux computers...they are different!
