What if Linux ran Windows… and meant it? Meet Loss32

The gist of the idea is to run the whole user environment, desktop and 
all, inside WINE. So it's something like a bare-metal WINE sitting on 
top of the Linux kernel, with just enough plumbing to connect them up. 
This is significantly different from the current way, which is to run a 
completely Linux-based stack – the kernel, an init, a userland, a Linux 
display system, and a Linux desktop, and then run Windows programs 
inside that.
