One thing is sure, is that Microsoft is a contributor to the Linux kernel.
It's been happening for quite a while now.

Last year we also saw the introduction of Bash for windows. Which is not an
emulation but it supported natively. Makes you wonder about the future of
PowerShell.

Also MS SQL is now available on Linux too.

I guess linux being less resource intensive live better on the cloud,
Microsoft being more and more focusing on Azure it probably makes sense.
