Then you'll need many, many, dollars, yen or euros to even make a
serious start. There's just so many things people want to do with a
'PC' that recreating code for all of the ones they can currently buy
windows applications for is a nightmare to make the rising of Cthulu
look like a visit from the vicar.

Surely you don't really mean the above in any ordinary sense? You're
not really expecting to overthrow M$, Apple et al. on less than $10b a
year?
