I'd love to have the inside insight on how MS see WINE and related products and how that compares to how they saw chromium versus Trident/EdgeHTML. I really wonder if windows by itself is a loss leader to other areas where they do make money and would love to stabilize the desktop side and outsource/"contribute" that to others to maintain, just so long as they could keep money coming in from office, user administration, support contracts, alongside the services side.

On a tangent I wonder a similar thing about nvidia/AMD carrying around decades worth of tweaks and fixes for old games within their GPU drivers (and matching that is a cost for entry for intel), could they shed a burden by opening that to projects like DXVK.
