Your assumption is false, both for the original question and for
assuming there was any intent in a non-existing follow up question.
The question I raised was because it was highly unlikely, and still
is, that Vista has a UNIX/BSD/Linux core, which I wanted cleared up.
Microsoft has used Open Source source code (the BSD TCP stack in
Windows 2000) but not in their kernel, which is still, unless proven
wrong, an NT kernel.
