Seems like a pattern. Fail and then cozy up to MS and their cursed gold. I smell shades of Novell. So three years and then no more Canonical?

Getting your product in front of people and getting their attention is hard. Of course I suspect that the details of these Azure deals may be unsavory, what with MS' successful extortion racket business model...but think of all the Windows users getting exposed to Linux via Azure.

Considering Canonical is a privately held company I have no idea if they are succeeding or failing. I wouldn't count on them failing if I were you.

Like I said in the other thread, it's the business of doing business, no big deal.
