Foreign LINUX: Running Unmodified Linux Binaries On Windows

[NullDevice]

Necessity is the mother of all inventions.

So many years of improvements and the kernel is still sorely lacking a descent BSOD, something had to be done ! Now Linux binaries will have their fair chances at last.

Seriously, this is really nice, much potentials.

Bash, Nano, Vim, Pacman, Wget can already be run on Windows, natively.

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

I will call it ENWI, hmm? (Emulator Not Wine Is, hmm?)

It works in so many context. I Enwi this Linux app. Enwi brings Linux apps to Windows...

[RealNC]

We had Wine, now we also have Fine.

(Foreign linux Is Not an Emulator.)

Heh heh.

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.

Now THAT would be nice to have, for those Win-things you still need to use (but without the viruses or crap)
