I know what you mean. Microsoft still has a crapload of cash and they are
still going to try to convince companies to support Microsoft no matter what.
Their Windows 8 OS is pretty much a failure on the desktop and on their
tablets and the Windows phones are under 3% marketshare and losing it.
The big threat to MS still is the huge percentage of servers running
GNU/Linux instead of their offering. I have clients who have sites on
existing IIS servers and I hate manipulating them. Since their business
models and products are a product of a different era, they are looking for
new ways to control people.
Maybe Microsoft is trying to convince those running GNU/Linux servers to make
the switch to Windows. I don't consider Windows server admins to be real
admins and I doubt real admins who are already comfortable with GNU/Linux
and/or BSD are going to make the switch.
