Yes, but I didn't see any mention of the plan that Microsoft's had for a
while of replacing the underlying DOS operating system with the NT one.
This hasn't happened in the home so far, but it'd take less time for
that to work than for them to port the Top Half(tm) of their product to
Linux.

NT does still have a few DOS-isms around the place too, but it's not
sitting on top of the thing.
