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.
This time I want the credit, so I’m posting my prediction publicly while everyone still thinks it’s ridiculous:
I predict that within 15 years Microsoft will discontinue Windows in favor of a Windows themed Linux distribution.
People have been joking about a Windows DE atop the Linux kernel for a while now buddy, too late for you to call dibs

I call dibs! I predicted a free (as in beer) windows OS 20 years ago!
“…Vista is overpriced…”
Ain’t that the truth
Joking? Or the ideas of a mad genius? (h/j)

Giving a specific time range and making this prediction in earnest is well worth receiving some credit if it pans out.
Ya, I even wrote into a Linux podcast like 7 years ago making this exact prediction. It’s not new.
