Your argument is that Microsoft would introduce their own distro (a "proper" Microsoft Linux), and then declare their Linux-related ventures only "supported" on that Linux.

I feel like I've accidentally stumbled upon some internal discussion group of Microsoft's where very low level employees who completely misunderstand the market give their Microsoft-centric view of the world.

I never said Microsoft would only support their Linux. Just that it would be an option and that some businesses would be interested in it.

I am assuming you believe Microsoft will not be venturing into the world of building their own Linux distribution?
