In reality though Microsoft just added a WSL; not bad: Linux code can run on Windows now.
Also, if you want Windows to die you need to work with OEMs: I assume that most users simply use whatever OS is pre-installed.

- pjmlp 1y agoAs gray dog around the prairie, had Microsoft actually been serious with POSIX subsystem on Windows NT/2000, instead of some marketing material and low level effort, GNU/Linux adoption would never taken off, at least not at a level that would have mattered. With OS X on one side, and POSIX subsystem on Windows NT/2000 side, everyone would be doing their UNIX like workflows without thinking once to try out GNU/Linux. At my university we only cared about Linux on its early days, Slackware 2.0 days, because naturally we couldn't have DG/UX at home, and that POSIX support was really unusable beyond toy examples.
