“96.3% of the top one million web servers are running Linux. (ZDNet)”
That right there is why Microsoft cares less and less every day about Windows, as Azure continues to grow as the company cash cow.
Their share of the 53% of “professional developers” that do not use Linux keeps them interested on the desktop.
Well, to be fair, the other reason that Microsoft still cares about Windows is that Office is their other cash cow. As more and more people move to Office 365, they will start to care less about that too ( as the web versions work great on Linux ).
I wonder what they’ll do on the corporate side. It’s possible they’ll push to move everybody to VMs and VDIs with everything running in the cloud. It would cut down on expenses for certain classes of employees who can work from a thin client.
