I figure the reactos kernel could be ported to PowerPC; later. So when reactos is stable on powerpc or another system reactos could use a utility to allow reactos to run mac os x programs transparently on top of ReactOS. Or even IA-32 programs on that system also. This would be reverable PPC-to-IA-32 and IA-32--to--PPC. I figure if PearPC contributed code to the project with XEN and others ReactOS could translate these binaries. Just a thought...

Good ideas, but let's see some code. Also, many of these ideas apply generally and don't need to be reactos projects. Running OSX binaries on windows would involve a colinux like darwin kernel userland port, which is quite feasible and also quite outide the scope of the reactos project. I'd encourage somebody to finally work on a userland mach on windows. Heaven knows that the win32 api is rich enough to map virtually every mach call to a handfull of api calls. Once you had that, i'd expect it to take only a month or two of tinkering to get userland darwin running.
