Yawn. Sounds like they have a bunch of networking iron they’re developing that runs embedded Linux. Half the world has already been doing this for nearly a decade.

Yet another Linux distro? Yawn. Check out https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg for a graphical snapshot. Given that there are tools both online and off that let anyone custom spin their own distro ... someone using a flavor of embedded Linux as a platform to run their software on isn’t particularly exciting. Though I guess putting Microsoft and Linux in the same sentence gets some base level of attention...

One other thought though. I guess what is most telling / interesting isn't that there is yet another embedded Linux distro being used... It is that Microsoft did not host their networking software on one of their flavors of Windows...
