Not likely. The LINUX kernel is and always will be under the GNU Public License (GPL) The terms in that license are diametrically opposed to Microsoft's business plan (something that Gates and Balmer have spent a great deal of time contrasting). Yes MS has used open source software (think DNS) in NT. But what they used is under the Berkley Distribution License. That is more friendly to their business plan than GPL. I highly doubt that MS will develop anything under GPL or using GPL in the near future, because they do not like putting their crappy code out there for every one to see.
