They have collaborated with IBM on OS/2 back in the early 90s (which could have killed Windows) Balmer even called OS/2 "Windows+", they have collaborated on Mac software several times. They are now working with Sun. As long as they remain relevant in the future they don't care about Windows. I wouldn't be suprised if Blackcomb was just a graphical shell and API for existing distros.
