did we arrive at the second stage of embrace, extend, extinguish?
No, Microsoft would likely sooner fully adopt the Linux kernel tbh.
It aligns with their software/service as a service model.
My bet is you’ll see a “windows 11” compatible user space running on Linux a la WSL ( LSW? ) in the coming decade.
I know Linux engineers who moved to Microsoft generally for this purpose
that's how the "extinguish" phase start - integrate it closely into your own product, so people use yours instead
