well, my main reason is that i use linux for servers
in schools, but there
is a vast amount of specialist educational software that needs to run on
desktop windows, on fairly low spec machines.
Okay, you need a slim operating
system which can run windows applications.
(but a new kernel ?)
what i want is something i
can plug in as a direct, free replacement for windows that looks the same,
works the same, and does not need high spec (expensive) machines to cope
with a bloaty os + subsystem.
Why has underlying OS and a subsystem to be expensive
?
