I totally agree with this.
And there are some very ugly drawback to have GNU/linux runned under M$ Win32.
People would refer to GNU/Linux as "that good stuff" that runs under Win32
(thanks M$). "That good stuff" could become very popular itself rather than
bringing users to the GNU/linux "native implementation" and this
linked-to-proprietary-software could be leading in the main system development
(what about DirectXFree86? ActiveBonobo? EmacsPad?).

The risk is that we would finally have GNU/Linux hostage of Microsoft. Who ever
wants to get the last GNU/Linux Service Pack in FSFDN?
