Windows seems to be gradually trending toward an OSX-style desktop experience riding on top of a Linux kernel.

  Except it isn't, that Linux kernel runs on top of a Hyper-V instance, alongside the NT kernel which is managing the whole show. More z/OS and less UNIX.

    For now.

      Even if Microsoft was willing to throw away what makes Windows have the desktop market that Linux will never have, and go back to its Xenix roots, Linux would probably get as much back as it has been getting from all those Android OEM contributions. So not really a reason to cheer what would be yet another pyrrhic victory in the desktop/mobile space.

        > Microsoft was willing to throw away what makes Windows have the desktop market I certainly neither said, implied, or agreed with that concept, no.
