I don't think that is a problem for Microsoft, especially because they would want your ID and age, tracking you as much as possible already. Also you don't just change the Kernel just like that, there are licenses attached, drivers and other stuff. From technical point of view, in current implementation it is probably impossible. Let alone Microsoft would face issues with compatibility. If we put the technical difficulties aside, I don't even think Microsoft is against this law and pretty much wants it.

They could just change the license of their codebase, if that's what they wanted to do. No way in hell they care about users enough though, and probably most windows users still don't care enough even about this to jump ship.
