Hypothetically, if we were trying to build a bridge between two OSes (Ubuntu and Windows), how could we go about doing it? The effect is that, both OSes should be able to use installed softwares/programs i.e., install someone in one and you could already use it in another, yet retain the key features of respective OSes. Not talking about virtualization-something more native-where in, I could simply use the programs installed in my Win7 C drive directly from Ubuntu or vice-versa, as though they were natively installed.
Most people say isn't really possible and I get that somewhat. But what if you could win a reward of USD 10 Mn? I mean, there has got to be some level of abstraction of windows from which we can connect to a similar deeper level of Ubuntu, and possibly set up a 50 or 100 GB dedicated partition just to serve as a bridge? We could use the drive to install stuff (rather than tradition C/home) or let the OSes use the space to store intermediary files? Or some sort of software layer or API between the two OSes.
Looking to some senior guys, with some strong understanding of softwares (particularly OSes, ubuntu, windows) to shed some clarity and share perspective? How could we build something like Ubuntu-Windows-bridge?
