Could this not be a good tool to broaden the Linux community. I run Linux only as a hobby, because all my needed applications are for windows and I am not porting them myself.
Yes, I love the way Linux runs and feels, but I also have a very stable Win2K box that I can actually run everything I need on...
I see this not as a "threat to Linux" or "useless programming practice", but as something that would actually introduce more people to Linux and show them how much fun it can be. After all the more users the better it will be for everyone in the long run.
