This makes perfect sense.
Only one question:
Is this true love, or some modern variant of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish?

Good evening, ShadowAce.
Figure you might find this ping-worthy...

To: butlerweave
There already are enough different semi-annual versions of Windows to qualify as distros, LOL :-)

Only 18 years after Apple. Don’t ever accuse MS of being hasty.

Only 18 years after Apple. Color me confused by your comment.
Apple built OS X on BSD Unix, not Linux, and the Unix kernel they used ("Mach") is running the operating system, with the Mac GUI on top.
Microsoft is incorporating a Linux kernel as part of the Windows Subsystem for Linux -- but the Windows 10 "NT" kernel is still running the operating system.
Granted, it would be REALLY cool if Windows were to scrap the NT kernel and re-implement Windows as a Linux kernel running the operating system, with a Windows GUI on top. But that's not happening.... yet :-)

It was a broad generalization, but, since Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch, it’s close enough to make my point.

I don’t believe any OS company can survive without a Linux strategy. A proprietary general purpose OS loses in the long run.
I’ll just say I have to deal with it on a daily basis.

Thank you Microsoft. For years we have all dreamed of Linux to run as crappy as your OS. Shark meet penguin. Guess what the shark is going to turn you into?

The weather reporter on TV just announced a large blizzard had completely blanketed Hell. Could this be a coincidence?
