I believe that Windows will soon 'do an Apple'. That is, just as Apple has built its proprietary Desktop built on top of a BSD UNIX base, Microsoft is gradually moving towards building its Windows Desktop on top of a Linux base. That would remove hundreds/thousands of highly paid MSFT developers that currently have to maintain the underlying OS and obtains their function from the thousands of 'unpaid by Microsoft' Linux OS developers.

> I believe that Windows will soon 'do an Apple'. You are comparing apples with oranges, 'MS doing an orange' will be decades slow and will result in a two faced monstrosity that they will probably rename to JANUS or something of sort.
