_You_ wanted Linux and windoze coupled together more tightly, there you go!
Besides your question being far off-topic for this list, which is what Tarl
probably wanted to imply as well, let me quickly share a thought. Maybe as
a "prior art" reference, in case some wit considers that patentable rocket
science.
IIRC there already is an X server ( http://x.org ) for windoze, and also a KDE
port being done. So, by launching a Xen, Linux in dom0, windoze in domU and
passing it the graphics hardware, the windows desktop, looking like windoze
or KDE, could seamlessly show native windows, or Linux programs via X
protocol over veth.
