Windows Vista - Linux Edition

Speaking of Windows and PC Magazine, there is an article that traces the last Twenty Years of Windows. In it, the author says:

When Interface Manager [i.e. Windows] was first announced, Microsoft described it as an option that would work on top of all the company's operating systems, including DOS and Xenix, Microsoft's version of Unix.

Imagine what a different world this would be if Windows ran on Linux/Unix. MS could call it Windows Vista for Unix/Linux Edition and sell it for $50. Now, that I would buy.

Excep of cours they would have found ways to fundamentally break Unix. Just the way they had a good start with NT and broke its back to generate more revenue.
