Windows always has been a Unix alter-ego since DOS 2.x which had started to accept '/' characters as directory separators, or maybe even before that.

I'm still betting on Microsoft buying Canonical one day and releasing their own distro.

I keep waiting for Microsoft to give up on maintaining their own kernel and moving to Linux. Kind of like what they did with the browser engine, and building atop Chrome.

Why would they ever do that though? Breaking backwards compatibility and losing all their work on the NT kernel for no gain?
