I'd thought it was so Microsoft could offer an emulation-based migration path to all the apps that would be broken by Longhorn.

To be fair to MS, that is already here - you can "mount" NFS volumes as subfolders in 2K and above, just like unix. however, MS don't really seem to want to crow about that - just in case someone points out unix did this literally decades ago....
