A team of sharp developers at Microsoft has been hard at work adapting some
Microsoft research technology to basically perform real time translation of
Linux syscalls into Windows OS syscalls. Linux geeks can think of it
sort of the inverse of "wine" -- Ubuntu binaries running natively in
Windows. Microsoft calls it their "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
Sounds a lot like Rosetta [0], which Apple used to transition people from PowerPC to Intel.
