Even Thurrott is installing Linux!
Paul Thurrott has been installing Linux this week with the admission "its Free, runs well on older (or newer) PC hardware, easy to evaluate on older PCs or in a VM".
Maybe the Microsoft Red X click to install and "purposely broken*" Windows 7 Update mechanism, has even got to him.
Microsoft Office on Linux is inevitable now, though not particularly needed, given Libre Office 5 has that sewn up for 99% of normal user use cases.
Microsoft don't produce MS SQL for Linux, without porting Microsoft Office too. The products that are succeeding best (outside the of Apple Ecosystem) are products like Dropbox, Spotify, that work across all platforms.
