Um... Are you referring to WSL? Wouldn't that be the linux kernel running under windows?

WSL 1.0 was doing something like that. Doing syscall translation in real time. Eventually edge cases forced them to abandon that architecture and now it's just a VM.

    Was it edge cases? I thought the main driver for WSL2 was better filesystem performance.
