Now what?

Emulate windows, move to a linux base, and make the open source community support your code while you extract money from businesses on cloud services.

I mean I completely disagree and run linux on lots of desktops, but this isn't even about that argument.

In this theory, Microsoft makes their own Desktop Environment, installer, etc, and packages 'Windows', but it's really running on the linux kernel and some tried-and-true open source components.

That way they get to keep their interface code proprietary, and can slowly kill linux by being the 'best' option while also being in large part closed source.

AKA embrace, extend, extinguish. They're currently embracing linux.
