Beware Greeks bearing gifts.
Still, why does anyone run Linux on top of Windows?!

Very good news. I like their change of heart and strategy. It shows
that they did not achieve market dominance by mistake. They are a
malleable company.

Microsoft is contributing approximately 20,000 lines of source
code to the Linux kernel with the aim of improving support for
running the Linux operating system in virtualized environments on
Windows servers. The move is part of a broader trend at Microsoft
towards collaboration with the open source software community.
Prominent Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman announced the
code submission today in a message posted to the Linux kernel
mailing list. He says that the new drivers contributed by
Microsoft will soon land in the staging tree where they will
undergo some refinement before they are merged directly into the
mainline kernel. Microsoft is making the code available under the
terms of GNU's General Public License (GPL), the open source
software license that is used by the Linux kernel.
