Well, There is a whole slew of patents they own for one. They also have bash on Windows 10, C# and SQL Server VNext are also now running on Linux as well as the dot net core framework. Microsoft has come round to seeing Linux as the most used server OS and as such the defacto enterprise business battleground. Something of interest though is the (seemingly retaliatory) joining of Google to the open source dot net foundation which after the inclusion of windows to Google cloud server oses might also see dot net applications or code welcome there as well. I hope Amazon is watching that move. I can almost see android apps written with better xarmarin or from macbooks off of the soon to be launched visual studio for macos. That summarises the current moves in the industry AFAIK. By the way, codeschool.com will be completely free tomorrow and Saturday for those who enjoy gamified learning of fun stuff like git, ruby on rails, SQL, javascript and python.
