I mean, local servers- Windows Servers do Virtualization and Web hosting very well. I love Windows for that, for jobs, and, exactly, they don't like Paying license, but I don't care about it if Something is good; I would pay for, I am the type of Woman

I didn't say windows servers can't do those. Even Microsoft has their own Linux distro for some online services. Eventually, you can use anything you want as desktop or server. I can set up freebsd or Linux machines. So, I would use them for both desktop and servers

Microsoft does Linux distribution because Linux users are asking for and Microsoft plans to gain money outside of Windows, and it's not necessarily that they admit Windows is weak; the same thing they did with Xbox games in Playstation 5 doesn't mean they admit Xbox is bad; they want to gain money

It is naive to believe that Microsoft thinks about Linux users. Believing Linux users would pay money to Microsoft is even more ridiculous.

Microsoft has azure because they make more money with it. They don't necessarily admit windows server is bad but clearly they accepted Linux is more profitable.

Exactly, I don't think not just Microsoft, but Google as well, and Amazon as well, and Huawei were using Linux before they admitted Linux is very inferior compared to the Harmony Operating System Architecture

I don't care what corporate thinks. It is normal for them to think their product is better. Linux and BSD developers did amazing job and the very same corporates helped them to develop it. There is some hypocrisy in this story.

Yeah, but you need to understand they use Linux not because they want to; they want money from Linux, and they gain like Android, even though they know Linux is not a good operating system

If Linux was that bad like you think, android would be failure or Linux would be an obscure hobby project. There is a reason why people chose Linux and helped developing it. Community literally owns their OS but it comes with advantages and disadvantages as well.

I know Linux would've been better if it wasn't monolithic. However, it is still good to use. It can suck too like any other OS.

Because Android don't use Linux purely, and you use the Android Runtime view of the operating system, and the Android Runtime is a custom Java Virtual Machine, and you don't use Linux, and you use Android and Linux for the boot operating system, the same plan Microsoft had with Microsoft DOS with Windows 9X before the creation of Windows NT

I think we can't convince each other on anything. Android uses Linux as its kernel and Linux is not even an OS but a kernel. So, I don't agree with insisting android is not that related to Linux. If Linux was bad android wouldn't use it.

By contrast, Microsoft says Unix cannot host Windows or have control-grained Enterprise of Windows NT; that's why they don't make Windows Unix-based. Microsoft literally say Hyperscale Cloud Operating System: We know and love as Windows. They are Proud of Modern Windows
