Has been predicted for almost as long as the year of Linux on desktop.

Windows NT kernel was never an issue, Microsoft would encounter exact same issues they’re facing now since the pressure to monetise remains.

I'll tell you more, MS already had their own Unix.

Xenix was the most common Unix variant during the mid- to late-1980s.
