Microsoft Linux is the next evolution of the Microsoft desktop operating system, argues Jack Wallen.
It makes sense, especially given how hard Microsoft is working on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but from everything I've witnessed over the last few years, I think there's a conclusion to be drawn that makes even more sense for Microsoft.
Forget about a version of the desktop with a Windows 10 interface running on the Linux kernel and finally admit that Microsoft Linux might be the best solution for today's world.
Porting Windows Defender to Microsoft Linux would be a good step into keeping the user base comfortable.
If Microsoft plays its cards right, the company could re-theme KDE or just about any Linux desktop in such a way that it's not all that different from the Windows 10 interface.
