This is of a piece with Microsoft's GitHub acquisition -- seems to be part of a program to win developer mindshare. And it's working; I was impressed by this post, both tone and technical content. Windows having never really been suitable for the server, and rapidly losing its grip on the home user, it seems totally sensible to push the "windows is a good platform for people doing serious work" angle. It's all Windows has left.
