    This time I want the credit, so I’m posting my prediction publicly while everyone still thinks it’s ridiculous: I predict that within 15 years Microsoft will discontinue Windows in favor of a Windows themed Linux distribution.

    People have been joking about a Windows DE atop the Linux kernel for a while now buddy, too late for you to call dibs

      Giving a specific time range and making this prediction in earnest is well worth receiving some credit if it pans out.

      Ya, I even wrote into a Linux podcast like 7 years ago making this exact prediction. It’s not new.
