It would look like that's the direction they're moving in if this product were a Windows environment on Linux. Something like a Microsoft supported version of Wine.
As it is, it looks more like a Linux environment on Windows. Analogous to a Cannonical supported version of Cygwin.
I'd love to see Windows as Linux distro because I'd prefer to give full access to my hardware to Linux and only pull out a Windows environment when an application requires it. Desktop Linux users are in the minority though, so I expect there's a lot more demand for the reverse.
