Well, what the title says. Some folks here
wandered what the future
may be. I suppose destroying Linux, or making it irrelevant.
Microsoft of today is really not the Microsoft of the 1990s. There are a
lot of people at MSFT working on Linux in different forms.
If you know this first hand, then great.
I do. I have friends at Microsoft.
I admit, after 1995 I have only used anything MS about
few times a
year or so.
Ha! I haven't actually used anything from Microsoft for a long time.
Last time I was forced to was in 2004, I think. I even had to use Word!
When I found VBacs which turned MS Word into a resemblance of Emacs my
productivity soured.

SWMBO has a Windows laptop, though, so I still see it sometimes.
I suppose more
distributions would look at the alternatives like OpenRC
or S6.
Maybe. I am still trying to evaluate various alternatives to Debian
and I am not so sure.
Alpine is very popular. It's using OpenRC and eyeing S6, I've heard.
