Last updated on September 8th, 2018

One of the company’s former chief executives once described the platform as being “a cancer”.  It is now spending $500,000 (£400,000) to join the Linux Foundation, which promotes the open-source OS amongst businesses and developers. “By collaborating with the community to provide open, flexible and intelligent tools and cloud services, we’re helping every developer deliver unprecedented levels of innovation,” said Microsoft’s Scott Guthrie.
