It's a binary-identical linux userspace, and it (appears as if it) has the same linux kernel. There will be some rare edge cases (see: mounting a case-sensitive POSIX filesystem on top of the case-preserving NTFS) but aside from that i envisage lxcore.sys being extremely compatible. Certainly a better dev platform than my current cygwin/windows/samba/debian-in-hyper-v setup for mixed OS development.

I don't think so (GPL is the main reason why I doubt it because everyone would consider that to be a derivative work of Linux). It looks like they're doing something FreeBSD has had for 10+ years and SmartOS has had for 5+ years. You emulate the syscalls. It's a very simple idea and devilishly hard to get right.

Why do you think things will break?
