Now would be an almost perfect time too. With desktop sales declining, MS
showing no interest in maintaining a version of Windows suitable for desktop
computing, The security-as-an-afterthought "features" that have been
introduced after XP having been proven worthless, and with no penetration in
growing markets, you'd think a BSD-based operating system would be looking
pretty good.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"I thought that the best and smartest way for MS to greatly improve their
OS, would be to use BSD as a base to build upon.
By using a variation on WINE they could even permit continued use of many legacy
applications"
That would completely destroy their business model. Because then WINE would
actually get perfect, and no-one would use their BSD-clone.
Not saying I wouldn't like to see it happen, of course. I just don't see them
doing it.
They'd also probably get a lawsuit from Apple about copying business methods or
something...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
