It does seem possible at this point. They did it with their browser: the rendering engine changed from a point of differentiation to a liability, so they threw in with #1 to have some influence over it. The OS is headed that way.

Microsoft already develops and ships an emulation layer for Windows on Linux; SQL Server for Linux is built on it.
