Microsoft is one of the top contributors of Linux Kernel development. It's a surprising move by Microsoft in recent years to contribute to Linux development. Read this article: #-Link-Snipped-# . Microsoft's contributions were not big, but very small ones.

Why do you think Microsoft contributes to Linux Development? Is there a hidden agenda?😒

    Another acquisition by Microsoft? 😐

    Linux would never sell itself to Microsoft. I don't see Microsoft benefiting in any way by acquiring Linux.
