Doubtful at this point. We have Mariner/CBL and are committed heavily to it. Has its own development and kernel teams etc. and is being pushed internally to be the Linux all 1P systems run on for supply chain reasons.

Microsoft themselves may be committed to their own distro, but their customers are overwhelmingly committed to Ubuntu as it's powering the majority of client workloads on Azure.

  It's amazing that 25 years from the halloween documents, and 20 years on from http://mslinux.org/ http://mslinux.org/, that's the case. Also amazing how much of mslinux.org is true Internet Integration -- well yes every machine has an ip stack More Swap Space -- apparently swap is a good thing for performance new type-ahead command-line features -- sounds a little like copilot Graphical Point-And-Click RPM Management -- certainly what desktop linux has Plug-and-Play For Linux devices which make adding and removing peripherals a snap -- well yes, things like udev crapd -- insert pottering based commentary The space vehicle will be running our newest product, SpacePod 2004 -- in reality it's linux that tends to run on mars Microsoft is working to incorporate the well known "Start" button from the Windows Platform into X Windows' Gnome interface -- I believe Start has been removed from Windows now? I have something very similar in the top corner of my xfce screen though

  This will change quickly. Microsoft shops often go with whatever Microsoft is touting eventually. The .NET ecosystem is very much like this. So yea, I don't see any future where Microsoft buys Canonical vs just slowly migrating customers onto Mariner.
