We already do that with windows software on Linux.

Translating syscalls and translating opcodes (especially efficiently) are different things.

And we don't.

But yes, this is possible and Windows for ARM includes such a translation layer. Except it's not very good yet.

In some sense ARM everywhere is a nightmare. There's no standard like EFI or OpenFirmware for ARM PCs.

I hope that changes.
