I'm usually the first to shit on Stallman but I really liked his suggestions here.

But hypothetically if Microsoft fully implements all of what RMS suggested would Windows be listed as an approved distro on gnu.org?

They’d have to drop the windows store, no?
This is a hypothetical. I realize the improbability.
If you could run a completely free (libre) windows, including all pre-installed software, subsystems ... everything, well then hypothetical yes.
Why not?
