Most of MS revenue comes from Azure so it makes perfect sense for them to invest in open source that is used on Azure servers.

Roughly 1/3 comes from Intelligent Cloud (i.e. Azure and friends)... although revenues increased 93% in FYQ3. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/earnings/FY-2017-Q3...
