Microsoft have shown a tendency in the past to unifying their server, workstation, desktop and even phone operating systems.
I don't know if they will keep that tendency (plus, it's more likely to lead to them sticking with Windows on servers)
However, if they do move towards Linux on servers they will naturally explore Linux for workstations too.
- boogiewoogie 8y agoCan't believe I'm saying this but I think MS could own Apple if they took on Apple in any programming realm outside of objective c/Swift if they embraced Linux desktop.
- jrs95 8y agoUnified frontend development with .NET is their big opportunity for this IMO. Something like Xamarin Forms but a lot more optimized like Flutter and supporting mobile, desktop, and browsers would be incredible. Right now .NET seems pretty unpopular but a really strong front end use case could reverse that.
