@Harry: if anyone cared enough to build a more reliable solution from scratch I don't see why there would be a need to add the overhead of a VM and a virtualized kernel - as said above, the NT kernel already supports the "personalities" concept, and a POSIX subsystem has already been written and is being used (so, it *can* be done), so *that* would be the "clean" solution. On the other hand, I don't know how many people actually have the knowledge to write an NT POSIX subsystem from scratch...
