I'm sorry you had a bad experience at the Azure workshop. There are a lot of people running those types of events both inside and outside of Microsoft and the quality is all over the map. Unfortunately a lot of technical people at Microsoft are still very insular. They primarily interact with Microsoft friendly .NET developers and rarely have to stray into the big scary world of *nix. They probably don't talk about the Linux support or help with your Mac because it would show their ignorance on the subject. Fortunately there is also another side of Microsoft. A side which is doing fantastic work in the open source community as well as with things like the Linux support in Azure. I would be happy to talk more about Linux support in Azure and I am more than capable of helping out with any setup required, regardless of your operating system of choice.
