I'd suggest that no corporate "loves" or "likes" anything :) They're there to make money, simple as that (whether they should be or not, is a whole other discussion). What tends to get in the way is internal politics and hubris, where a company gets ossified and scared of change. There's plenty of examples of this (Nokia, Blackberry, Novell etc etc). A bold company will be willing to change even at the apparent cost of one of their own products. MS have done a pretty effective job, under Satya Nadella, of realising that clinging to the past isn't effective and that they need to be willing to move with the times. The argument, that I felt the article made, that this is some EEE strategy is (IMO) misplaced. I think MS has no intention of trying to extinguish Linux (if such a thing was even possible), they're adapting to the new reality.
