This has a faint scent of an early April fool joke.

It does, but then find me a Linux user who doesn't dual-boot into Windoze for desktop apps. This way, you save one reboot. I wonder, however, how stable this will be...

My house has a pantload of computers, none of which have Windows installed -- it's actually been this way for years. I have an ubuntu laptop, my wife uses OS X. My kids mostly use iOS/android devices and occasionally another ubuntu laptop or chromebook.
