But continued Linux support is clearly a possible cancellation.

I don't think so. Both Adobe and Microsoft benefit from the existence of (and their coexistence with) Linux.
I would really need to see some examples of that. Adobe doesn't deal well with Linux (or anything non-Windows) and Microsoft would make more money with Linux around.
Perhaps you think that but I don't think they are or their shareholders see it that way. Microsoft tends to only deal with Linux or the open source world in an effort to avoid criticism. In fact, that's just too ironic of a statement and I think needs a little justification.
