Is Microsoft’s strategy to move into the Linux world, and do their own version incompatible with the rest of Linux? As they tried with Java years ago?

There are already a number of somewhat incompatible Linux variants. Granted they can (for the most part) run the same binaries. But there is a lot of variability and poor compatibility already. Microsoft's take on Linux support will doubtless generate some more of that.

Is it all part of a giant subversive conspiratorial plan?

Hell if I know...

They will invent, patent, copyright, and/or trademark “Linux”.

Or some devious legal twisting that shows that LINUX is infringing on MS, due to some obscure historical patent or ruling.

Do not trust MS.
