Agreed, those technologies were mostly independent of anything
Microsoft has done.
GNU is a clone of Unix so a derivative. MS is also a derivative but
not much like Unix.
Note Windows NT was built to be Posix compliant which is a Unix
derived standard.
X is a product well left alone by MS.
The Linux Kernel is one of several options including at least one GNU
kernel. All are designed to run under a GNU framework.
One option I've not seen yet is a MS kernel running with a GNU
framework. It's entirely feasible, but unlikely to date.
