I've read the same thing but I'll bet a dollar that no one using Linux is paying for any Microsoft cloud services.

    Some people use Linux but don’t mind about Microsoft

    Ex: a lot of people in computer science

    I noticed a lot of students use Linux for their studies because in CS we pretty much only use Linux, but they run Windows at home or they solely run Linux for studying so they don’t care about the rest

    They would’ve stayed with Windows if it provided the same features and full compatibility

    As a somewhat side fact, most of Microsoft's own cloud services are running on Linux. This fact nudges me to believe the opposite of your conclusion. That is to say, changing your OS doesn't necessarily change the software you use.

    That said, I would be very surprised if Microsoft's cloud offerings were as popular among Linus users.
