Twenty-five years back, Microsoft adopted a tough stance towards the open-source community. Steve Ballmer, the CEO at the time, even went as far as likening Linux to "a cancer that, in terms of intellectual property, infects everything it comes into contact with." Nevertheless, at the 2026 Build conference, Microsoft made a remarkable shift. It not only emerged as a major contributor to open-source software but also formally launched its own Linux distribution, Azure Linux 4.0. This transformation has sparked widespread interest within the tech industry.
