This is a really good development. It’s the reality that Linux and Windows have to work together and I am delight to hear that the Microsoft team are working with Ubuntu. We should welcome, support and make dealing with Linux a pleasant experience.

A good question :

“Microsoft alleged years ago that Linux and Open Source technologies infringe on over 200 Microsoft patents. It’s that basic allegation that Microsoft used to convince Novell/SUSE to sign a a Patent deal and it’s the same basic underpinning for a dozen deals with Android vendors.

So why is Microsoft allowing Linux to run on its Azure cloud? In particular, why Ubuntu?”

[...] Una cosa de las más buscadas después de las funcionalidades de Windows Azure, es la capacidad de ejecutar máquinas virtuales en la nube; de ahí el interés de Canonical de hacer que su sistema operativo esté disponible para los usuarios de Azure. “El equipo que conduce Azure tiene -en general- una sofisticada comprensión de Ubuntu y Linux. Están adoptando un planteamiento o enfoque pragmático que hará levantar las cejas a todo el campus de Redmond, y eso es exactamente lo que los clientes quieren ver. Hemos adoptado una posición similar”, dijo Mark Shuttleworth en un blog post. [...]

Mark,

well done. A tight connection between the Linux World and the Windows World is actually what I wanted to see.
Even if I don’t like the Windows OS, it’s important for the enterprise market.

Now people will come back to Canonical (or to you as the messenger) and will complain.
But those people should think about this:

Many enterprises who are providing good Windows Software or Windows SaaS Services are running very large Linux environments. So many of them are investing a sh*tload of Money into their Linux Server Fleet and the people who are providing 24/7 operational services.

Thanks for all the ideas and work. Also, thanks to your Colleagues who were working on this. It’s appreciated.

Greetings from sunny California (temporarily )
