Isn't that what wine is ?

I don't understand

Wine (wine is not (an) emulator) is a reimplementation of the windows api set. It's literally starting windows again from scratch.

Oh I see. Well if it has exactly the same API, if that API also has weird legacy stuff built in that hinder developers, then maybe not, but overall that does sound very similar, yes!
