Update: Microsoft admits being wrong on Linux
**Hell is actually freezing over…
So, picture this: the tech world is going through some wild changes, and one of the craziest things is Microsoft cozying up to Linux. I mean, not too long ago, Microsoft and Linux were like oil and water. Remember when Linux was called a “cancer” by good old Steve Ballmer? That was quite the showdown!
But fast forward to today, and we’ve got SQL playing nice with Linux, Windows getting its own Linux subsystem, and even Azure rocking out on Linux servers. I mean, it all makes sense now why Linux’s mascot is a penguin - Hell must be freezing over!
And get this - Microsoft is bringing over its big guns to the Linux party - Office, Visual Studio, and who knows, maybe even SSMS! I’ve seen Microsoft folks showing off on MacBooks these days. Looks like the days of Ballmer’s antics are long gone, thank goodness. No more stage performers chanting “Developers, Developers, Developers” for ages!
Now, here’s the kicker: is Microsoft gearing up to switch to a full-on Linux kernel like Apple did back in the day? Could we wake up one day to news that the next Windows version is all Linux and POSIX? It’s a mind-boggling idea, right? With Azure and SQL already making the jump, and the move from PCs to cloud-based devices, it’s not that far-fetched.
The way I see it, with desktops on the decline and everyone jumping on the cloud bandwagon, Microsoft might be eyeing a big transformation. Who knows what the future holds? We’ll just have to kick back, relax, and see where this wild tech ride takes us.
