Perhaps they will purchase the rights to IBM’s OS2 and us it as a base for their next OS.. Nice to have a real time OS. Hell, there's no reason (other than NIH Syndrome) that Microsoft couldn't revamp Windows as a GUI+syscalls over a Linux or Unix base system, the way Apple did when they migrated the old MacOS GUI to a FreeBSD Unix base system and created OS X.
