Microsoft surprises with its first server Linux distribution: Azure Linux 4.0

You'll be able to run this Linux distro on both Azure and your desktop using Windows Subsystem for Linux. Here's what we know about it so far.

2016: Microsoft "embraces" Linux.

https://www.inc.com/joseph-steinberg/microsofts-startling-announcement-shows-these-major-business-trends-are-real.html

2026: Microsoft "extends" Linux.

2036: Microsoft "extinguishes" (all others) Linux. People locked into draconian licenses agreements - even for personal use. People wonder, how did we get here (again)???

I can't believe we've thrown rocks for 30 years just to give up and hug Goliath just because he changed his shirt.

Fuck this with all that is fuckable!
