Interesting project. Although Cygwin already kinda does that. It gives you a fully functional POSIX environment, so you can actually compile most linux packages on it.

Once I actually set up full KDE on top of Cygwin. It was slow, but functional. :P

There was a program I found the website of via stumbleupon looking like a kind of reverso-WINE, called LINA (LINA Is Not an Acronym), looks like it requires some kind of re-packaging of linux binaries into .lina files (although it says they’re just in a zip archive, so nothing too fancy, and through some technical wizardry they make it work in Windows, Mac OS or Unix

Aside from the fact that most open source projects release for all the OSs they can port to, this could be useful for any linux-only applications

Think opposite. Sun had PC NetLink, which provided Windows NT 4.0 domain services for Solaris. It had a native net commands with all the same flags/options as the Windows version. I used to use this over Samba until AD came out. I keep hoping Sun will continue with an up-to-date version, but I won’t hold my breath. Samba 4.0? Maybe . . .

Oh yeah! I forgot about these. I think that SFU actually might have more tools.

Microsoft Services for UNIX has these ass well. I have used SFU for some thanks to the mix of systems I have at work.
