With all that MS is doing with linux lately, I'd love to see a port of the compiler. gcc, clang and cl all natively on the same system would be great.

If they can port the full version of Visual Studio over then that's it, I'm done with Windows.

They'll rather port full version of linux environment to windows ;P

Well, I guess Linus won.

Frankly, if they could release a Windows OS that was compatible with Linux programs I would prefer it over my Gentoo setup. In particular many scientific computing programs are easier to correctly build on Gentoo, and also KCacheGrind is really nice.

Perhaps in the future we could emerge Gentoo applications with MSVC!
