Microsoft to run Linux on Azure

Infoworld: “After years of battling Linux as a competitive threat, Microsoft is now offering Linux-based operating systems on its Windows Azure cloud service. The Linux services will go live on Azure at 4 a.m. EDT on Thursday. At that time, the Azure portal will offer a number of Linux distributions, including Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2, OpenSuse 12.01, CentOS 6.2 and Canonical Ubuntu 12.04. Azure users will be able to choose and deploy a Linux distribution from the Microsoft Windows Azure Image Gallery and be charged on an hourly pay-as-you-go basis.” SmartGlass on iOS and Android, Office supposedly coming to iOS and Android, Linux on Azure… It’s almost as if Microsoft finally got the memo that ‘Windows everywhere’ can’t be a reality any longer.
