It’s crazy that this now aligns with Microsoft’s goals and could conceivably happen. Microsoft has the capacity to realize that the value of Windows is not the codebase, but the compatibility. They could let the Linux subsystem swallow Windows and wrap Windows itself inside it. However, I believe we’ll continue to see their colocation system instead, where Windows and Linux are both wrapped inside a system managing both.
