it would be pretty interesting if Microsoft made the next version of Windows a Linux distro with a Windows emulation layer

I just threw up a bit at the thought.
I think it’d be a full screen ai client app running on linux, probably on cage. why bother with the nt and win32 and whatever middlewares. linux is externally maintained. saved dev money can be used for power/ram bills instead.
That would never happen. The entire reason why Windows is not as power efficient as MacOS or some Linux distros is the backwards compatibility that it brings. People laugh at the fact that you can still find icons and .dlls from Windows 95 (or, probably, even 3), but that’s exactly one of the reasons why this OS is so massively popular, especially for enterprise users.
I’m sorry but this is just not true. The legacy support within Linux is insane and it’s one of the hallmarks of the operating system.
Linux has excellent legacy support for Linux.
Now run a 1998 obscure Windows vendor custom app. The vendor went out of business 30 years ago.
Not to mention that it would kill the entirety of existing IT automation, the entirety of centralised system management, and lots more.
Actually, Linux has better support for legacy Windows apps (through wine) than for legacy Linux apps.
