I love these hand-wavy discussions from armchair architects. "Just drop in a Linux kernel and be home in time for tea" - no problem at all. You do realize that Windows needs to support legacy apps going back decades, and that there are thousands of different APIs layered on top of one another? The most innocuous kernel fix can cause app compat problems, and you're suggesting ripping the kernel (and presumably most of the low level subsystems) out and replacing them with new shinier ones? What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, we understand your deep desire for Linux to be on everything, but for fucks sake, demonstrate that you have at least the tiniest grasp of the subject.
