why is no one talking about this point. MS shows its financials, its all Azure which is run on linux. Why would you fight for market share on a thing that is the biggest drag on your money maker. You spend how much in lawyers and PR on a product that MAYBE hit 10% or your overall costs. You wanna spend how much on drivers for everything, when the big boy in the room can dictate what devices work on YOUR OWN SERVERS that makes 75% of your cash. Nah milk that base for all its worth til it goes away.
