I guess I see this as the first step or a merger between Sun and 
Microsoft. Sun's been badly beaten between Linux and Microsoft. This 
gives Microsoft a gradual merging or a historically strong version of 
Unix to gradually merge into Windows. At the same time it allows them to 
gain their own Linux distro so they can hedge their bets.. consolidating 
against their enemy while at the same time buying into the enemy camp. 
I'd expect to see a future version of Windows going OSX and using a Unix 
foundation.. but expect to see the upper level code portable to Linux 
should Microsoft want to do so.
