So Microsoft is now shipping Linux-based images for running R and Python. Did we... did we win?

No & yes. Microsoft just got back on its original course, building software that's usable by as many people as possible.

I highly recommend Satya Nadella's new book Hit Refresh. He states Microsoft wants to build software for all platforms & reminds people that Microsoft has been building software for the Mac since 1982. Somewhere along the line they got off course & tried to lock people into their own platform. I suppose success does that to a company.

They managed to integrate it into paid products like SQL Server and then also sell their own machine learning server as well.

I don’t feel it’s a success. I feel they make money off the backs of people who wrote it to be free. I guess it still is “free” but... proprietary add ons to free software is still a digital handcuff.

If R and Python winning is a good thing, I don't want to be a winner :P

could you elaborate on that?. They are the most popular languages for scientific computing.
