What's important is that server-side services that Microsoft offers are replacing Linux servers. Whether it's SaaS like Office365 or more traditional server software like Exchange and Sharepoint is not crucial.

Except that Linux usage on Azure has surpassed that of Windows a long time ago...

Microsoft's interest in on-premises business with these products is waning, just as the market share for them is also waning. They most assuredly aren't trying to win the war against Linux on the server. That war has been won (by Linux) and MS is off chasing other revenue streams that are growing.
