I first heard it back in the days when I was still on 56kbps modem and Clinton was facing his impeachment trial.
After so many years especially after the success of linux + wine, I don't think anyone needs a Windows NT clone. I know they share code/knowledge, there is just no practical reason to have a full clone of the NT kernel.
I'd further argue that Microsoft should stop developing its windows OS kernel altogether, running wsl2 on top of a boring windows kernel is never the solution. They should build Windows on top of the Linux kernel, I mean let Windows be a good Linux Window Manager.

Well Windows 11 is now already the best Linux Desktop distro with WSL2.
No need to further complicate it with the rube goldberg contraption that the Linux desktop ecosystem brings.
Windows is based on kernel + NT subsystems, such as console and Win32. There used to be a Unix subsystem too. That's why it's called like that. "Windows subsystem for X" makes sense only with historical context.
Yep. It could have been the other way of course. If it was LSW, I wonder, would people ask the same question? We'll never know, until they decide to do another renaming op.
How so? I’m considering switching to a Windows laptop for the first time in 10 years of doing development on MacOS. Mainly because I’m into machine learning/ neural network these days and everyone around me keep saying buy a laptop with CUDAs support
Ah I think I wasn't clear in my message... I was speaking about the performance of WSL on Windows 10 compared to a native Windows system. The only time I tried ReactOS in a VM I didn't feel it was slow either.
I still use "MIDISoft Recording Session" to edit midi files. Seriously ancient software there, and it's having some compatibility problems (related to moving the mouse cursor) under OTVDM + Windows 10.
"What are the differences between Windows and ReactOS?
There are mainly two. Firstly ReactOS is open source. Secondly ReactOS is Free. Also Windows (especially the newer versions) are known to monitor all your activity by default. So if you’re concerned about your privacy or just don’t want to share any personal info, we promise (and you can check our source code) that we don’t track any of your data."
