Re: Sadly... this is the beginning of the end
I suspect that Windows might end up being built on top of an increasing level of Linux code Wer have honestly. Windows PE may be where it starts. The thing is Windows has not made Microsoft money directly for years, being revenue neutral on the whole and more of a promotional tool to gather data (the biggest industry in the world) and force people to use their cloud offerings (surely the next anti-trust case - although there is little chance of any sympathy for any of the big players - at some point or another they are all a bit shady!) I am guessing that the use of open source to provide free development will help reduce costs, increase compatability for Linux et al All good really. I personally welcome this move. It is not too disimilar to what Apple did with BSD after all.
