And not only that, you're going to run into a s--tload of trouble with
MS Legal Team if you happen to be anything close to wildly successful.
There are patents, trade secrets, EULA's and other intellectual property

a little trouble a while back because they allegedly violated the
no-reverse-engineering clause in the Windows EULA.
