Alright. Let's talk about the esr blogpost. Will Windows become a linux distro with an emulation layer over it? Personally, I wouldn't rule it out, but extrapolating that from a edge port for linux is a bit far fetched I think.

I think the author is putting a bit too much behind Edge being on Linux. The new Edge is a fork of Chromium, which is already on Linux. It took much less work than porting IE or old Edge would have.
Or it's just anyone dual booting might consider Edge as their main browser since they can use it on both OSes now.
Microsoft is obviously pretty interested in Linux with WSL, but that doesn't give any credence to the idea that Windows will become Linux like he's saying. If anything it's the opposite, WSL means more people can get away with only using Windows. I know I do.
I think WSL is more likely to be a sort of lite EEE. Not quite extinguishing, but taking a chunk out of Linux's userbase.
yeah I agree. Its weird that ers uses WSL as argument for his case. I think it's the opposite actually. What would be the point of bringin Linux as essentially an app to w10 when you're going to base you OS on linux anyway?
