Windows and Linux in one?

I ran across this project the other day: http://www.longene.org/en/index.php

Binary compatibility and device driver support for Windows in Linux? What will those crazy Chinese try next? I may have to get a vm set up and try it out. It claims better performance than Wine. I wonder if the compatibility is better as well. Too bad the site is so slow. Probably being slashdotted.

If MS wasn't so stingy with their code, this would have happened already.

Check these guys out too.

I've known about reactos for a while and it just can't get me excited. It has a pretty slow development pace and will pretty much always be behind Windows since they're chasing a moving target. If I recall their compatibility aim is the OS release prior to the current release, so their target will keep jumping ahead every few years, even if they haven't made as much progress towards their current target.
