Of course. In order for Linux desktop to succeed it must
perform identically to Vista. All programs should run
just like they do on Vista. All permissions would be
allowed just like Vista. All visual icons and buttons
and thingies and doohickies would look just like Vista.
All viruses on Linux would run just like Vista.
And then of course Microsoft swoops in and accuses Linux
of copyright infringement, but that's a minor detail.
