That brings up an interesting diversion... Let's say MS decided to scrap their kernel and make MS/Linux (as opposed to GNU/Linux). That is, they write their own X server to run proprietary apps, but keep the low level GNU free.
MS Windows is not modularized or if it is the rules have been broken time and time again... marketing, project management and sales people know nothing (in most cases) or care about technical superiority and the quest for good architecture they care about number. These numbers - $$$. Have you ever wondered why the heck a problem with MS Office or Paint (for example) would let an attacker take control of the entire machine ..... lol ... hehe 'cause the bloody paint-job is horrible they cut corners where they had to, they hacked when they had and should not have to meet the deadline and make it work for the promo and after that it is off to help desk.
