Have you used WS? It is a beast and is totally different. It is also the only option for many organizations as Samba and Linux aren’t doable in some cases.
The original interview is no longer available, but here are references.
Microsoft CEO and incontinent over-stater of facts Steve Ballmer said that “Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches,” during a commercial spot masquerading as a interview with the Chicago Sun-Times on June 1, 2001.
Ballmer was trying to articulate his concern, whether real or imagined, that limited recourse to the GNU GPL requires that all software be made open source.
“The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source,” Ballmer explained to an excessively credulous, un-named Sun-Times reporter who, predictably, neglected to question this bold assertion.
Embrace.
LMAO. Microsoft really made Windows Server and won’t even use that crap themselves.
They don’t want to deal with their licensing either 😂

SAMBA? Did you mean Azure blob storage?
No Samba as in the SMB server
You missed the joke
Still funny that there’s a Microsoft Linux distro. Didn’t think that would ever happen 20 years ago.
It is so funny to me as well. I remember M$ calling Linux cancer
They were right, it’s metastasising now
LINK PLEASE LMFAO

MS has been using Linux on their servers for years
And are now releasing something for users, which is a different animal.
It is for running on Azure and is the base under WSL.
Literally no difference.
Oh neat! What comes after that?
Extend and then Extinguish
