An interesting idea, but one which would probably be
unappealing to both Windows and Linux users, because
each platform has some very good features which simply
aren't available on the other. Anything written
to run on both platforms would be limited to only
those things they both have in common, and would
thereby lack the niceties that users have become
accustomed to.
