After personal computers arrived in the 1970's they went through a series of revolutionary changes delivered by a series of different platforms. It's been over a decade since we've seen anything truly revolutionary, will we see a revolution again? I believe we could not only see revolution again, we could build it today.

Actually, NT does run Win32 in what amounts to an emulation layer (a "personality server"). It had personality servers from POSIX and OS/2 as well, but over time, they kind of deprecated the idea and moved towards a Win32-only system.
