Speaking of ultimate world domination and the

nature of classic Unix, I had a great idea the other day:
Microsoft should assimilate Linux by creating a subsystem
that allows recompilation of straight Linux code, or even
emulation of its binaries. Sure, there's a few technical
obstacles to solve, but that's what makes life fun, right? :-)
What would be the point of adding bugs to the operating system that you
switch to when you're fed up with Win95 crashes?
But you're right. If MS was smart they'd dump the Win95/NT kernal and
give in to Linux. The Win95 GUI would be a nice desktop for Linux, except
ApplixWare beat them to it already :)
