Microsoft is not rebasing Windows to Linux
Im not sure how many people thought this would _acctually_ happen. This is one of these things that seems cool from an Linux lover&#x27;s point of view (because it somehow proves them right that Linux is the absolute best) but makes absolutely no practical or business sense. Two major groups buying windows are business clients (who would rather you not change things so that their 20 year old custom software still runs in Internet Explorer) and the average user (who couldn&#x27;t care if the Kernel was NT, Linux, or a literal peice of Corn as long as things work).<p>Everyone who thinks that using the Linux Kernel is better than NT is already using Linux. Everyone who needs some sort of intermediary support uses Dualboot&#x2F;WSL&#x2F;etc. Windows would never sacrifice it&#x27;s backwards compatibility. This is the company that won&#x27;t change the bug that makes excel think 1900 is a leap year so that it doesn&#x27;t break people&#x27;s spreadsheets.
