People are saying "how will this happen" BUT what this is really about is battery life. Microsoft is admitting it cant ship a stripped down copy of windows without Blink/V8 embedded as a library. Too many things (node, electron, browsers, etc) require Blink/V8, and if Microsoft wants to ship a Skinny Windows that is Battery Friendly, they need ONE copy of Blink.
So eventually, what will happen is Microsoft moves towards the Apple route. "Windows Lite comes with OUR Blink/V8 and you can write a browser shell (also called a Chrome :) ) around it.
