Description
Am no technical person. Wonder if it would be possible? Perhaps nobody has got around to integrate a windows abstraction layer with Linux. It might be a great service if someone would do that. I certainly would love to have an operating system that can run seamlessly software designed for windows or OS-X or linux. Or for that matter it would be great if software made for any major operating system or linux distro could be seamlessly installed and used on ubuntu without having to start up a seperate package such as wine.

something like parallels for mac? or perhaps integrating wine better? it's an interesting idea, although i'm not sure a good one.
