Windows to become emulation layer atop Linux kernel, predicts Eric Raymond

Wishful thinking

Microsoft has to make sure Windows won't break systems written decades ago.

So the chance of Windows becoming an emulation layer on top of Linux are 0 % imho.

There is no value to Windows otherwise, and Microsoft would be much better off writing a new os from the start.

Also, people have been underestimating the revenues of Windows for a long time.

Windows profits paid for (failed Windows Mobile), for Azure and for Staya's other whishes.

Yes, Azure is becoming increasingly important for Microsoft, but not important enough that it discloses its turnover, much less its profits.
