By "out of the box", I mean the kernel and the GNU utilities that comprise the base of 99% of Linux distros. Also, Ark and other archiving tools commonly distributed with popular distros do not support RAR. It doesn't really matter if you think the format is only used for illegitimate purposes. Really I'm just trying to point out how dumb it is to say that Microsoft should just abandon Windows and switch to Linux instead of rolling out their own support for new archive formats.
