Nothing wrong with writing something for their future WSL2 distro that will be exclusive to use on WSL.
Workstation Linux employees will find it increasingly difficult to justify the use of Linux at work and this will be the final nail in the Linux desktop coffin.Last edited by evasb; 17 July 2020, 01:47 PM.

It took 17 posts for someone to trot out the EEE meme. You are slipping when it comes to paranoia, Phoronix.

I fully expect Microsoft will, in the next few years, do what Apple did years ago and switch their kernel. MS will use Linux due to how active development is. With their strategy of cloud services, it really makes no sense for them to maintain the expense of writing and maintaining their own kernel. I think they are just waiting until they can get all the pieces they need built for a smooth transition and some level of backwards compatibility.
If Microsoft does anything, they'll realize that current security models, Linux/Unix included, are outdated and inadequate for the future of data security. They may eventually migrate to something else closer to the ideals of OpenVMS which NT was originally modeled on. But, it will not be the Windows of today, nor will it be Unix beyond a transition period where Linux will be a place holder on the back end. Almost no one short of professionals and enthusiasts will be aware of it on the user side of a migration to remote server model/thin client in most of the industry. Microsoft has already started that particular trend with their cash cow and flagship software transitioned to remote services model: Office 365 which is currently usable on any computer with a supported web browser. Moving in this direction basically makes the OS on which they run their software and sell their services (including legacy software support) irrelevant beyond internal support costs.
