Wasn't all this the original idea behind NT? Running applications of the different OSs on as many different architectures as possible? I think we don't have many problems, that need to be solved. First, IFS has to support the UNIX-style of filesystems and second, the POSIX subsystem has to be more complete, so that it is able to run posix-compliant applications.

I can really see potential for this. If this was done, it could seriously add to potential for this. Although, we would need to get around those "interesting" technicalities.
Now if we can port Debian to ReactOS with the cabibility of using the drivers. (Probibly the most "interesting" aspect.) then a whole new range of possiblities could be opened up.
Seriously, being able to run a native Linux distrobution programs (Debian) and a native Windows programs on the same OS as if they were both native to the system would be fantastic.
How this would be implimented (including file system semantics) need to be carefuly thought out and designed.
