By my reckoning, the biggest hurdle would be convincing any remotely
competent developer to begin such a hideous and fundamentally-flawed
project.

The next hurdle would probably be modifying the drivers of a
closed-source operating system and the lack of any significant chunk
of reuseable code.

But if you are very rich and very evil, almost anything is possible.
You could even run mutt as an MUA on Windows, given an unlimited
supply of money and evil.

In any case, try to keep life in perspective.  I think you'll see a
NetBSD port before you see a Windows <cough> ``port''.
