This seems to me as some kind of defeat and that makes me sad. It's sad for me to look how great companies grew old I think Microsoft is now afraid that people (developers that were hired by enterprises) are willing to move to *nix so much so that they will force enterprises to gave up on MS stack. This way they could lose SQL Server customer and Windows customer at the same time - having SQL Server version for Linux…
For Microsoft, this is continued victory, not defeat.

You offer a few examples of research developed my Microsoft but don't mention the destruction of an entire generation of innovation by deliberate barrier of entry by obfuscation and theft of intellectual property. The history of Microsoft is well known I don't need to recite what most people already know
I can provide examples of "destruction of an entire generation of innovation by deliberate barrier of entry by obfuscation", whatever that means, for almost any company in the IT landscape. I don't know, should I start with Google, IBM, Oracle and Apple examples?
I really don't see the point of having another data server running on Linux, as it is developers are spoilt for choice. I am not a fan of anything Microsoft and don't like to see it raise its head on open source products like RaspberryPi and now its attack on open source software. I want to get away from this greedy monolithic destroyer of innovation not embrace it into the open source fold
What exactly is MS attacking?

You also don't plan to touch Haskell, OCaml, async/await patterns, RX, given that they all have influence from Microsoft Research?

Interesting how you capitalise the word "Research" after Microsoft, you must be a fan
As someone who has tried some early builds, what annoys me is that they have made it a lot easier and much quicker to install on Linux than it is on Windows!

How much of that is a direct result of Microsoft setting the standard of bullying, stealing and legal threats to keep their monopoly and prevent small innovators disrupting?
