Umm no. You’re not running it on Linux, you’re running it on Azure. You’ll be CONNECTING to it from Linux. But not running it there. And yes Azure has a multitude of ways to connect up. Remote Desktop being the easiest. Funny to me there’s so much buzz all of a sudden. Been running Windows machines on Azure for years. They just rebranded it with the new announcement.
I’m not at all fond of cloud computing with Microsoft or Amazon controlling the cloud.

True, but for most users, that distinction is a total who-cares.
You and I and a few other techies care, for sure. All my Windows work these days is over RDP, from Linux and sometimes a Mac. Who cares, as long as I can get to my Outlook, and manage the Win servers.
