Technically, it may be possible.
But legally? I wonder what the Windows license agreement has to say
about it.
Further, using a Windows .dll in Linux isn't really "replacing" Windows.
You still need to have Windows to do it.
Having spent a fair
amount of time in the K-12 classroom in an educational context, I have
yet to see media content as being a meaningful factor in the classroom.
Viewing videos on computers is the latest version of VCRs on a cart or
for those older than I, filmstrips.
They are most useful to allow students to catch up on sleep, and
teachers to balance their checkbooks.
It is starting
to replace trips to the library, but then on-campus libraries in K-12
have always been under-utilized anyway.)
Do they have libraries anymore? I thought they'd all been turned into
"Informational Resource Centers". heh.
I see it more as a historically recent national obsession. It seems to
have started approximately at the start of the War on Drugs(tm).
The War on Poverty came first (LBJ in the 60s), I think. The War On
Drugs came with Nixon.
I will say though, that I don't understand the emphasis on Linux "winning".
As far as I'm concerned, you use the OS that fits your needs, whether it
be Linux, OSX, Windows, or Emacs.
