      We have a winner. Lets spam the guys at Foreign LINUX until this is the official name.

        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.

            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.

              True, and almost all closed-source programs are also on Windows too.

              The main benefit I can see of stuff like this (if cygwin can't do it - I'm not sure) is running X applications over SSH.

                That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard

                Who would EVER run windows as a native OS??? tsk. tsk. tsk.

                    Meh. A curiosity, nothing more. As Linux users who might occasionally need to run some pesky legacy windows app, this is pretty much the inverse of what we need.

                      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...
                      You never actually said what the actual problem was. Putty (or whatever SSH client you prefer) works just fine on Windows. Simply running SSH from a Windows client won't break a Linux server.
