I doubt it. There's no real thing that Microsoft can offer that would
make end-users *want* to use their proprietary protocol. On the other
hand, there are a lot of people that would really, really not want this to
happen - like all those web and database servers running Unix. Plus,
Cisco controls as much of the router market as Microsoft controls the
desktop market. They aren't likely to just decide to start taking orders
about how to do networking from Microsoft just because Microsoft wants
them to.
