It’s definitely a form of Linux. Their own product Windows Server is just for small and medium businesses and mostly used for managing Windows devices (with Active Directory domain controllers) and various Windows application/terminal servers. It’s never really used for anything serious. Linux is basically the only relevant server OS these days, except for some specific use cases or specific preferences.
What OSes do Microsoft servers run on?

I’d have to assume enterprise Linux, since they don’t use their own server OS (Windows Server).

Imagine walking up to a Microsoft engineer and asking them what software their company’s servers run on
