@tk With Windows having gained Unix-compat via WSL and Unixes having Windows-compat via Wine.

Maybe at some point it'll end up merging into one :D

@7666 @tk @lanodan Linux is going the NT way with their "everything is a file descriptor" mentality, maybe given enough years they will reimplement NT's object manager.

@phnt @7666 @lanodan Let's not forget how a number of Linux projects have basically tried to ape the Windows Registry.

@tk @7666 @lanodan systemd is a clone of Apple's launchd, but there legitimately are cases where something is worth stealing from Windows. The kernel personality model and object security model are way better than what Linux has due to its Unix-like heritage.
