Microsoft's New Linux Distribution.

Say hi to Microsoft's own Linux: CBL-Mariner​

So, if you want a secure, stable Linux for your edge computing or container needs, I suggest -- in all seriousness -- you give CBL-Mariner a try. While I continue to have my doubts about Windows as a serious operating system, Microsoft did a fine job of creating a solid Linux. Who would have guessed!

Granted is a server side Linux and not a true desktop.

Oh... so now they hope to be able to track/sell information on Linux folks too?

Haha.... this is rich!!!

"The purpose of CBL is to help secure Edge applications"...
HAHA - so in other words, the best way for Microsoft to secure it's browser apps is to - wait for it - not use Microsoft Windows, but use Linux to envelope the security holes in Edge.

This is funny stuff

Of course they want to, revenue stream is everything........ Doesn't mean we have to play along.
