There was a project out there many years ago which did this.  You could
run simple linux binaries on Windows.  I offered to host the development
on sourceware.org (aka cygwin.com) but, IIRC, the developer never
responded.

I don't remember what the name of the project was and I'm sure that it
won't work with more modern versions of Windows but it is a cool idea.
