I'd say that any CIO with a bit of savvy would think twice before betting too heavy on a Microsoft Linux product, at least while Windows is still a thing in the eyes of Microsoft. Should Windows really be relegated to the annals of history this might change but until that time it'd be unwise to assume Microsoft would allow its Linux distribution to become a potential replacement for its Windows products, the simple reason being that Linux can be had elsewhere.

I'm sure somebody will think along the lines of "they are selling me Linux with support now, maybe they'll find a way to force me buy Windows in a few years". Embrace, extend, estinguish. I'm not trusting Microsoft, which has its own OS, not to play tricks like that.

You are in "hipster news", they have their own reality with no knowledge of actual IT trends.
