I came here to wonder the same. Is the key word in this sentence "cannot" or "currently"?
Do they to force win32 to continue to be a viable server platform, by forever restricting reliable Linux daemons, or do they eventually want to allow Windows to be a viable Linux server?
- pjmlp 9y agoThey want it to be a viable POSIX server. The majority of web applications use languages with runtimes that hide any Linux specific features. Given that the majority of enterprises allow only for Windows desktops, and won't pay for OS X machines, this is an appealing path to Ruby, Python, Erlang, Java, .NET Core, ... server based applications on azure cloud deployments.
- itomato 9y agoI doubt they want POSIX ever again. They want 'me too' POSIX-enough Developer workloads right up to the Deploy phase, where they have are building cushy, hard-to-evade on-ramp to Azure.
- monkmartinez 9y agoYour argument is confusing... Can I deploy my Django app on Azure? If the answer is yes, what exactly, is "me too" about that?
- itomato 9y agoDoes your current code generation pipeline rely on a GNU, BSD or Microsoft Userland? How about Libraries, Compiler or Runtime? 'Me too' is in MSFT providing a "Super Runtime" in the form of WSL. If your app doesn't require Microsoft's kernel or user space functions, why should your team?
