This is the first thing I thought when I saw that comment. The Windows NT kernel is one of the best and most stable ever written. Why should Microsoft throw away all that investment?
Seriously, the original NT Kernel was designed to be Posix compliant to run a UNIX environment. It eventually grew away from that but since Vista, Microsoft has been extricating unnecessary Win32 bits to Userland to take it back to it's roots. I think the MinWin project was completed prior to Windows 10 / Server 2016.
Linux was developed as a Unix compatible environment because Unix wasn't an option on commodity hardware. BSD isn't UNIX or Linux.
Why can't NT exist in the same area as a *nix compatible system?
