If God wanted you dead, I'd let Him do it himself.
You make a fallacy assuming whatever Linux or Microsoft says is relevant to this discussion. I don't see in any way what the line count of windows or linux has to do with writing an operating system. They want to indimidate for one thing. Linux is written by amateurs for another thing. Hardware has simplified many things. Windows has a buttload of legacy crap and Linux does, too.
Nine women can't make a baby in one month. The more people working on Linux or Windows, the more crappy code.
You assume there is only one way to do stuff--why are you bothering if you're just gonna reinvent Windows or Linux. If it's not an worthless clone, then how are their numbers relevant?
This makes me crack-up laughing. Generally, God's not so crass as to just strike people dead, but I know of like 3 places.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God and steadied it, for the oxen were making it tip.
7
But the LORD was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God.
8
David was disturbed because the LORD had vented his anger on Uzzah. (The place has been called Perez-uzzah down to the present day.)

If you want to know why I was in a bad mood, I hate when people quote 50 million as though its good. Pisses me off. Bigger is a sign of weakness, not strength, especially in any prolonged time-frame. (Maintenance burden and not being agile.) Users are a liability, too. They tie your hands because you can't change stuff. There's a classic story from Microsoft where some application relied on a bug and Microsoft had to accomodate that behavior in the next version or customers would be upset. The more users, the more pinned-down you are. Microsoft is essentually stuck, at this point and can't do much, truth be told.
I'm not actually incompetition with Microsoft, but I sometimes lapse into that thinking.
