If you swapped the kernels, you would probably spend the bulk of your time writing compatibility layers in Linux/Unix to mimic NT kernel features.

Besides, I can't think of any value added by using a Linux kernel.

(and I'm a Linux user too, so this isn't a MS shill post)

I think a better way would be for both Linux/Unix and Windows to get a common higher-level API, although I think this is adequately provided by WINE and .NET/Mono.
