It's well-known Apple is a big RHEL customer, including Linux on Azure, lending credence to the saying that every Mac is built upon Windows (Hyper-V).

Fairly certain the iTunes store, their web store, etc. are all built upon enterprise Linux as well.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Use the best tool for the job. Most car owners have never looked in the engine compartment.

I don’t think many azure services are Linux on hyper-v, are they? Azure (afaik) is quite heavy on bare metal Linux.

The OS powering Azure is Windows, even if about 60% of the VMs run Linux workloads, as per official numbers.

Many of their SaaS offerings are, but many infrastructure offerings are running Windows Server underneath. Rent out any Azure VM, and regardless of guest OS, it's using Hyper-v underneath as the hypervisor.

Ah cool, I didn't realize that even their linux VMs are being powered by Hyper-V
