Mark my words. Some day soon, Microsoft will 'Do An Apple'. Just as Apple took BSD as the base operating system and then put it's own desktop environment on top of it, I see Microsoft taking Linux as its base operating system and putting the Windows Desktop on top of that. That will make Windows programmers only required for work on the upper levels of Windows while the world-wide open-source Linux programmers work on the underlying Linux operating system.
