This shouldn’t be religion. Ballmer is gone. Microsoft is doing a decent job getting reconciled to the new environment, and the company CERTAINLY is not treading water.

There are plenty of Linux certifications out there. Why shouldn’t M$ have one for Azure?

Having said that, if M$ really wants to embrace Linux, they should port Office 2016 to Linux (either RPM, DEB, or both). They should also write an official Onedrive client for Linux (again RPM, DEB, or both).
I don’t see either happening anytime soon.

>> Rather than throw the Microsoft that is treading water a life preserver
I don’t quite understand that part. Microsoft has been doing very well lately, as evidenced by their latest earnings and the subsequent pop in their share price. What does he mean, “treading water”?

I have always been fascinated by the tribal nature of the geek community’s hatred towards certain OSs, and technology companies.

It seems to me the most intelligent OS is Linux and the user’s are far more intelligent, what I don’t understand is why it has to be so complex for the average home computer user, it should be easy to make it even more simple to use than Windows or Mac, rather than a raging sea of complexities.

More specifically, Microsoft absolutely must offer Linux to potential Azure customers if it's to have a cloud business at all, as offering Windows without Linux would be pretty much worthless. Mark Russinovich, Microsoft Azure's CTO, said as much during a keynote address at the All Things Open conference in October.That's the bottom line for this. It would appear as well that the Azure infrastructure itself actually runs on Linux, so they had little choice in the matter.
