I'm still hoping they'll do the smart thing and fork FreeBSD. Why EEE Linux when there's a perfectly good Unix with a business-friendly license?

Because they don't have to EEE Linux

If you want to run Linux in the cloud, you've got a bunch of providers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc)

Microsoft simply wants to be in that market, so they'll offer the same products their competition does. Anything they can do to make Linux better on Azure is considered a net gain for them
