That's encouraging, and it's fantastic that MS is moving in that direction and that new stuff like VS Code runs Linux. But outside of Silicon Valley, a lot of the world still depends on old stuff like MS Office and SharePoint. Outside of the startup scene the biggest challenge for many of us running Linux is still working around Microsoft's proprietary protocols and file formats.

Please continue moving in this direction. There's still a ways to go.

Yeah, but turning workstations into spyware platforms is not the direction anyone outside of big data would consider anything close to the right direction. They are looking to make large inroads into server side where they have historically struggled, and are succeeding, until they control and dictate that market, too. They are patient and calculating, give it time.
