I mean a lot of the Azure stuff is realising that they could either: continue offering Windows Server only and likely miss out on a lot of potential customers but gain some sales of Windows Server, or start offering Linux in their cloud offering. Ultimately they decided to do the latter, and I'd bet that it's the more profitable option.

Nadella was literally the top Cloud Computing executive at the company before he was picked for CEO. Replacing Balmer - who was very pro-windows.
