    Right, and you would be compiling the kernel with Microsoft Visual C++?

    There is no replacement for gcc, even the Intel compiler is not up to the task, and if it were on x86, that wouldn't work on Alpha, Sparc, s390, etc.

    GNU is integral to Linux. Without GNU, no Linux, at all. Moreover it's not about ego, it's about freedom, read the FAQ.
