IANAL, but I wondered why there is such difficulty with making Linux work completely with Windows systems? I guess part of it may be that Windows is closed source but as reverse engineering for interoperability is legal in the UK (regardless of what the End User License states), is the problem that it is difficult to read the Assembly easily?
Is there not a project on Linux to convert assembly back to C? Would this be exceptionally hard?
Just wondered why Linux has struggled for a while to interoperate with Windows completely...
Cheers,
