There was a project out there many years ago which did this. You could
run simple linux binaries on Windows. I offered to host the development
on sourceware.org (aka cygwin.com) but, IIRC, the developer never
responded.
I don't remember what the name of the project was and I'm sure that it
won't work with more modern versions of Windows but it is a cool idea.
Here's one project: http://lbw.sourceforge.net/ but I don't remember if
this is the one I was thinking about or not.
Here's another: http://atratus.org/
Quoting their page "Atratus is a Windows program that can run unmodified
Linux binaries." ... "Atratus can load ELF format executables created
with gcc under Linux run them on a Windows system without a CPU emulator
or virtual machine".
Haven't used it, but it does sound interesting, and its currently being
developed (version 0.10).
