Windows is not a real time operating system, so to make it Real time you 
need to replace certain parts of it.

 >>INtime RTOS

That is not Windows!

Here is a cost breakdown .. I have no idea if this is accurate or not.. 
but Intime is in the second half of the list and this list appears to be 
fairly old.

http://mihirknows.blogspot.com/2008/03/rtos-cost-and-feature-comparison.html

$900 to $9000 is fairly cheap for a RTOS Windows add in.

So someone would have to buy the software license, making LinuxCNC no 
longer free and that would conflict with the existing licenses.
Then you would have to give Microsoft  $100 or so on top of that so it 
could host the Intime realtime extensions.  Of course no one knows just 
how good INtime RTOS is ... so the software could suffer performance 
degradation.

All of this and when you are done you don't have Windows, you have a 
INtime RTOS version of Windows.   Don't bother calling Microsoft for 
support, they won't support it.

Seems like a lot of wasted effort when LinuxCNC already works.
