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

They could theoretically take over the entire OS by contributing the

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.
