It sounds very interesting and could open up a lot of possibilities for potential would be ubuntu users.

I was going to say the same thing. It reminds me of seamless mode.

The two kernels run side by side using the computer resources instead of opposed to Virtual machines which gives the secondary OS restricted privileges to machine access

seems like you'd need a pretty decent computer spec to do this especially for it to run seamless without hiccup.
