When you think Microsoft you probably don't think sense of humor. And yet, I'm convinced that Microsoft is going to do a very specific *very* funny thing within our lifetimes.
Knowing Microsoft, they’ll port 90% of Windows to run on top of WSL with the entire Windows backend and kernel still present and running.
The remaining 10% of applications (including Internet Explorer) will keep running natively for backwards compatibility.
