My opinion is that it is a terrible idea. For starters, how do you plan to 
install the runtime libraries, using sudo apt-get or distribute the 
libraries as as part of the plugin? And once you've decided that, how many 
hours will users on slow connections have to wait while umpteen megabytes of 
support libraries are downloaded and installed?

Really? So you plan to run a Google-sized freenx server farm for Windows 
users then?

No. The hard work is going to be convincing you that it simply is not going 
to work. At all.

No, it is not a good idea.

How much money have you got to spare?
