As former Windows person who still uses fair amount of Powershell on Linux, I was interested.

However, reading the summary left me confused like you don't understand what's happening at Microsoft.

The future product strategy is clear, it's Linux for servers. .Net runs on Linux, generally with much better performance. Microsoft internally on Azure is using Linux a ton and Windows Server is legacy and hell, MSSQL is legacy. Sure, they will continue to sell it because if you want to give them thousands of dollars, they would be idiots to turn it down but it's no longer a focus.

in no way that I can see is MSSQL or Server "legacy".

Azure services run on [customized] Hyper-V, thus Windows Server.

Azure networking is Linux.
