The goal has always been a windows like OS. The question is how windows like do we have to be? Should we not used BSD tcp/ip? Or Linux USB? What about Mesa3d for our OpenGL implementation? If someone can prove a good case for the internals needing to be 100% the same then sure we can do it. I'll give you a good example, look at the cache manager. There is no doubt in my mind we need to follow the spec as closely as possible in that case however can the same be case be made for the scheduler? Seeing as even Linux can run Windows applications and handling Windows threading requirements I don't know if such a case can be made with it. In every case all we are saying once again
1. Show a Document describing what you want to implement and or 2. Show a app/driver needing the API
