    Embrace, extend, extinguish.

    SQL Server runs on Linux. Azure supports Linux. The next step is to extend into their own distro, get everyone using it, then drop support for mainstream Linux.

    Will it work? Maybe. They’ll have to make Microsoft Linux more attractive than Debian and Red Hat.
