Yes, vomit posted the article first, but in case people ignore him I'll
report the link.

"More than 60% of Azure Marketplace offerings are based on Linux, which is
about 20,000 services overall, and more than 60% of VM cores are built on
Linux."

Some of this may be associated with the pricing difference between Windows
and Linux that I pointed out for AWS but companies aren't paying good
money for a cloud presence that doesn't work.

This is not new. Microsoft admitted the dominance of Linux on its cloud
years ago.

And the irony is, Microsoft is the one company that can price its Windows
offering any way it likes, to boost its competitiveness vis-à-vis Linux.

Their customers were lucky they had moved their servers to Linux. They would
have real problems had Azure been on Windows using CrowdStrike.

I'd think it's more for the support that the companies get?

Of course.

You need Linux to run docker. If you don't need Linux at home, on the
servers it's not the same.

Microsoft tried to get Docker working on Windows. Seems they have given
up.

Imagine that -- Windows not as well supported as Linux?!? From the company
that OWNS Windows??!!??

And who tried to DESTROY Linux, back in the day???!!!??? (Though they
