Who wouldn't love it if Microsoft did an Apple and wrote the userspace on top of the Linux kernel?

But the whole conceit of the article is the Microsoft sucks at userspace.

Microsoft sucks at the desktop, but there's more to their userspace than that. If you want to play the latest games or use a lot of other applications, it's the only game in town* pretty much.

*Obviously, there's Wine and OSX, but still.
