Not if they're using a "type-safe language" as they claim. C, in which
Linux is written, is anything but type safe. C++ maaaaybe. Also, based
on their description, it sounds like they're trying to do a microkernel

realistically base a Microsoft OS on it. However Minix, being licensed
under a BSD license, would.
