They might port across those features they see as being useful in a server
environment into service packs, and the rest might wait until the next major
release.  Wouldn't be the first time that a "service pack" has effectively been
a significant OS upgrade.

LOL yep, and I can see Linux binary support being useful on a Windows server,
provided that the Linux support has full network access.  Would be a useful
quick way to run that one Linux service in an otherwise all Windows shop.


... Your reasoning is excellent. It's your basic assumptions that are wrong.
