Hello all, I am a developer on the Zero Install project (http://0install.net/), a cross-platform open-source package manager. Its main feature is the ability to "run" applications without having an explicit install step (automatically downloading and caching any required binaries and dependencies for you).
I have recently been thinking about adding functionality to Zero Install to allow it to launch an application on a remote machine. Possible use-case: User on a Windows workstation wants to use a Linux-only application and tries to launch it via Zero Install. Zero Install sees that there is no implementation available for the local platform but that there is a suitable remote machine or VM and launches the application there. Since Window Switch already implements all the cool cross-platform app remoting goodness I thought it would be a perfect fit. Would you guys perhaps be interested in collaborating on some form of integration between Window Switch and Zero Install?
