Spot on, and then we have what I call Tanenbaum's revenge, Minix powering Linux kernel on Intel CPUs, and even more clearly, the Linux kernel being used as a plain type 2 hypervisor to run piles of containers for everything.

Regarding Microsoft, they tried a couple of times already, but IBM PC clones culture kind of kills most attempts. Latest one was UWP, with Windows S, Windows WinRT, Windows 10X all supposed to be this kind of approach.

Windows 11 initially was based the tech they could savage from Windows 10X, after it being cancelled.

If anything Crowdstrike has given them a powerful argument to tell OEMs, now the time is come.

Windows 10X potentially would of prevented the Crowdstrike issue, but some exec at Microsoft clearly didn't like it for whatever reason.
