Have to agree about the good work part. Sadly my personal opinion is that I really, really dislike the NT coding style. Now that makes me wonder how coding style affects peoples will to contribute. Compare this to the Linux kernel coding style and they're on different sides of the scale, I wonder how it will affect contributions.

Windows can do this with its subsystems (Win32, POSIX, OS/2, Linux). Perhaps they will reuse some of that idea so your preference might be swayed.
