Opposites attract, so is Annie going to marry Zeb? They're about as strongly opposite as possible...

Well, Microsoft has been pushing pretty hard for becoming the main "distro" for Windows programs, and this sort of move would definitely make it easier for them. They wouldn't need to control the kernel at all. Just let someone else do all that hard work, and build on top of it. Shifts blame away from them if the kernel has issues too.
As for the backwards compatibility, most of the really hard work has been done with WINE anyways, they just need to step in with a few small pieces of code to make it all come together, then you'll have that as well.
It's pure win-win for them, (and their shareholders) and benefits their customers as a side effect. This is the sort of move they can do without losing at all.

That's about what it looked like to me when I first heard of it. I never bothered using it because of that.

Went ahead and tried Mechwarrior Online again.
LRMs were nerfed into uselessness, as they require almost as good of aim as lasers to lock, but take longer to lock than it takes for lasers to burn, then you also have to maintain lock as well. (this is bad)
Almost everything else is identical to the last time I played, apart from a near doubling of the number of maps, (a good thing) a PSR reset, (another good thing) a new matchmaker that does worse than the old one that sucked, (bad) and a PSR system update that didn't fix ANY of the problems that the old one had. (worse)

Pretty much. It would unify the #1 server OS and the #1 desktop OS, and improve both in a very lucrative way. Makes perfect sense for them to do this. They may lose a lot of control over the base OS, but they save on having to deal with security vulnerability testing, as well as make it easier for everyone that wants to do anything with or to the OS, like custom UIs, or security patches that don't require a reboot of the system.

This makes me wonder why is Valve bothering with Proton and Microsoft with Ubuntu terminal if Linux desktop has no future? (In case of the terminal, I guess it could ease up working with linux servers but I don't know much about that.)
I think it's because it's pretty clear that Microsoft intends to move over from a standard Windows kernel, to a Linux kernel. That's why 10 is the "last version of Windows", because they plan on moving everything to Linux in a decade or so. Makes sense when you look at it from that point of view doesn't it.

If it's not warranted, like here, then yes.
Did it take a short time for you to answer this question?
Not really. Not even a nunce.
Did you have to look up what a nunce is?

The fact that it IS news to some people just goes to show how terrible the political state of affairs in this country is. For all intents and purposes the United States has been hardly shy of fascist since the Reagan administration, and there's absolutely no representation of left wing policy anywhere to be found.
It's been that way since LONG before Reagan. As for left policy, there is a lot of it, just not anywhere near as visible as the right stuff. (and usually as a result of the Constitution)

The fact that the list is so heavily populated by "was viewed suspiciously by" comments or stuff completely unrelated to actual civil rights, (like that first one, which is a gross mischaracterization of the actual order) and not by actual removals of civil rights is quite a detriment to your argument.
