If I ever am involved in printer management systems, I will name the system Curtis. I'm tempted to write some open source printer tool now just for that.

The printer management system should happen.

Must have an menu called "Program" that lets you set options.

We need to be careful and not give his website to much traffic. That poor thing is about 1 crawler bot away from giving up.

I've been saying that that was likely for a long time.

It'd solve their update issues nicely.

I doubt that MS will be creating an OS using the Linux Kernel. Because they wouldn't be able to profit from it in any meaningful way.
Unless they can figure out some way of setting up a subscription plan on it.

Of course, they'd sell "support", and bundle both the OS and support into a single package like RedHat. They'd have to live with others being able to compile from source still.

Actually, I think that "profit" is really easy to predict that way. Windows is getting closer and closer to costing them money, rather than making them money and they know it. Every Windows desktop bug makes people have less faith in their servers and their Azure products. Windows is becoming a liability, not a profit center.
Linux solves their biggest problem - Windows debt. It's specifically because of their desire for profits that we feel that they will move to the Linux desktop.
