MS is making a mint letting people run Linux on Azure rent-a-boxen, which
now runs on more Azure instances than Windows does. They aren't anti-Linux
any more. Indeed, they are contributing to the Linux kernel now to make it
run better on WSL.

I think the real motivation is to get developers off Macs. Many people
(including me at my last two jobs) are developing on Mac OS and deploying
on Linux. With WSL, developers can develop on Linux(-on-Windows) and
deploy on Linux (for reals). This also makes corporate IT happy, because
they want all employees to have Windows, Office, etc. etc.

blighting creatures, or is bound by grave and perilous Licences shall it
capture. And in capturing shall it replicate, and in replicating shall
it document, and in documentation shall it bring freedom, serenity and
most cool froodiness to the earth and all who code therein. --Gospel of Tux
