Linux wont be relevant in 5 years anymore.
Aww, you dont like?
Guess what: Microsoft will embrace and extinguish Linux.
Open source is great, isnt it? Hahahaha suckers!
Microsoft literally makes Linux an app. It will run from the microsoft appstore just like candycrush.
Let's take a moment to look at the pie in the sky. Let's assume, just for argument's sake that Linux will somehow manage to gain up on Microsoft's marketshare.
The second that happens in a noticeable manner, Microsoft can always just make their serverside free, open source their OS or do any number of things to immediately make Linux dead.
So not even in a theoretical scenario can Linux ever succeed.

yeah well that's just your opinion

Microsoft and GNU/Linux are not even direct competitors though. This in my mind is more a publicly stunt to get younger people who think Linux is cool back on to microsofts side and also steal some developers if they can. My two cents

To add also that GNU/Linux isn't a buisiness maybe some forks are paid for but in large it depends on the community rather than a paid workforce

Microsoft is the world's second biggest IaS provider in the world with Azure.
They make more money out of Linux than RedHat.

Perhaps but business is huge, as is education. Might as well say all bad weather outside of hurricanes and tornados won't be relevant soon.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you are calling Linux is actually. ...

Microsoft is very wise to look into linux. I've been running windows in a vm for a long time. That makes windows a kind of app. A wrapper around the app I want to use.
I think microsoft would have less work to do if they built there system on an encrypted linux. Windows would then sit on it and run virtually but with an easy interface. There would be possibilty of several windows windows machines running at ounce and batching of jobs in applications.
The only downside is then the linux kernal would be more on the target list for exploit with widespread adoption. It would also further reward the ignorant (not saying all are ignorant) windows user with better security and make a much stronger idiot.

Windows 10 is a fucking abortion and every single thing that has been done on open source that Microsoft try to embrace they end up fucking up, look at their virtual desktop solution for fucks sake, what a fuck up that is.
And how about having a working media playback package. For a company as large as Microsoft to fuck up so many brilliant ideas you really have to wonder how many crayons the executives have shoved up their noses.
At this point if you told me that Microsoft's mission statement was

I'd believe you
