I'm just disappointed it's not called Microsoft Linux NT.

    Too close to Windows, Microsoft will sue.

    This sounds familiar... Isn't there something like this? Edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linspire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linspire > In 2002, Microsoft sued Lindows, Inc. claiming the name Lindows constituted an infringement of their Windows trademark. Microsoft's claims were rejected by the court, which asserted that Microsoft had used the term windows to describe graphical user interfaces before the Windows product was ever released, and that the windowing technique had already been implemented by Xerox and Apple Computer many years before.[7] Edit2 ...is that the joke? whoosh

  I'd lobby for Linux for Workgroups if it wasn't taken already: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/07/20-years-after-windows-3-11-linus-unveils-linux-for-workgroups/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/07/20-ye...

    Makes sense, LfW 3.11 should be pretty usable. It could be like DOS+WfW, basically Linux kernel + Windows 10/11 GUI. The best outcome would be achieving the dream of OS/2 -> Workplace OS, with a microkernel and OS-personalities, so running Linux, Windows, or other OS flavours co-existing on a single shared microkernel: one OS to rule them all.
