It would have no impact either way. It will be
	-	as late as they can avoid getting slammed in court for
	-	unusably buggy (with them blaming the libraries/kernel/gnome..)
	-	incredibly slow (with them blaming the same)

and always lag the windows one massively so as to suck users back to windows
because "we needed the new release"

Its a non starter, its just another way MS can mess around and not get
punished.
