Linux goes up to the Microsoft cloud

The news has already been confirmed by Steve Ballmer; Microsoft has decided to support Linux on your cloud platform Windows Azure through the creation of persistent virtual machines.

Thanks to the upcoming release of the test build Community Technology Preview, those users who want to run computers with operating system Linux o Windows in a "Durable" in this platform as a service they will be able to do it without problems and, according to information from ZDNet, this is expected to occur throughout spring 2012.

The new support to MVPersistent s will also allow customers to Microsoft run SQL Server y SharePoint Server and further simplify the method of moving existing applications to Azure, instead of developing them from scratch.

This approach of Microsoft to his eternal rival, Linux it is not due to a gesture of "cool" but to competitors of Azureas Amazon EC2, they already allow it and those of Redmond they don't want to be less.

Above all, they don't want to lose customers.

    If it already seemed strange to me that it was charity ... in the end Windows moves because of what it moves ... But hey, if that benefits Linux users, why not? Although I don't think Linux users choose to use Windows services ...

    Hahahaha those of Hasecorp have chronic diarrhea with Linux hahahaha poor pringaos.

    How do you see that they have applied that of "if you can not defeat the enemy join him"

    1.    Erythrym said

      Man! Is that if they do not go to waste ... there are more and more Linux users (or so I think) that, despite the "difficulties" that the use of a Linux-based operating system may entail, it is totally free, and that today, it shows!

        I say that the crisis will not be eternal, and everyone hacks Hasefroch

          But still, it is quite annoying to get caught (and that happens more often than you think) and not even being able to have a wallpaper or go to remove annoying notifications. Also, you have to pay for everything, and if you are an experienced user, you get tired of keygens and cracks and the mother who made them all

    Eh what happens that they are all microsofteros? ajjaaja

    1.    Courage said

      What happens is that someone has screwed up their hard drive and has to be with this guigay

      1.    elav <° Linux said

        Until when with the issue of the hard drive? He just bought one, even if it's 20Gb, and leave the excuses for later. Besides, don't you have that Windows on a hard drive? Or rather, what does it cost you to use a flash memory with Ubuntu in persistent mode so that your data is saved? It is better to use Ubuntu than Windows ... Or am I wrong?

        1.    Courage said

          You are wrong, it is better to use Windows than Ubuntu. If it were another, then maybe, and no idea how to do that, apart from there is a photo on my pendrive that I would not like to lose ...

          Also, this computer is not mine, so I can't install Linux.

          I'll see what it's worth to fix the computer because it could be something more than the hard disk

          Windows is long more stable than Ubuntu and more productive…. In fact, Ubuntu made me lose more than one person who wanted to switch to Linux.

            Fuck I'm not the only one anymore. The same thing happened to me, he made strange things like little noises or Lucid that gave me screenshots in the installation

              What a mania to attack other sites ... man, that everyone has their opinion about other sites, editors, communities, articles, etc.
              Well anyway, as long as they don't take it personally 🙂


          5.    Tina Toledo said

            KZKG ^ Gaara, I don't think that those of Very Interesting take it the wrong way ... bah! Most likely they won't even read us, but there are some quite interesting articles about them where they deal with something about Linux: http://www.muyinteresante.es/tag/Linux

              Ah well my mistake then, is that I thought they were talking about Very linux Hahaha ^ _ ^ U

              Maybe my comment sounded a little louder than it actually was, don't worry… you know I appreciate you 😀

              Ah ... write me an email about the wallpapers you sent me, we have a new trick for writers 😉

    Always the same history…
    Every time Microsoft "moves tab" it does so for its benefit, it is a business and it functions as such.
    All very normal, don't you think?

    1.    Tina Toledo said

      So is. However, that is something that also in the world GNU / Linux it's already happening, yet some of us:
      a.-We do not perceive it or it gives us the same.
      b.-We do not want to perceive it but we already know it and we try to hide it at all costs because in "The GNU / Linux World" everything is a rose-colored dream.
      d.-We already know it and we say it, but those of the option «b»They say we are crazy.

        Free software has never been against business, and if it comes hand in hand with service, so be it.
        That does not mean that we have to admit unlawful actions, it is something that on the other hand happens in all areas of life, and I don't think anyone could believe that we are different, we are part of the same culture and we are not perfect.

        1.    Courage said

          It is the usual, the problem is not the business, but the behavior of certain companies with the software issue, that in order to take the money they do not take into account the opinions of others and do not care to do shit

        2.    Tina Toledo said

          José Miguel:
          You are absolutely right, but the problem is not whether free software is business or not, you should not even question whether or not you should negotiate with free software, because in fact it is done and that is not wrong. The problem is the one that points Courage: within the ecosystem GNU / Linux There are already vested interests and a fierce struggle to eliminate the uncomfortable "competitor."

          The serious problem is that I have not seen a community more divided than that of the users of GNU / Linux because much of it is made up of hard users -the so-called fanboys- that, at the first war call from the leader of the distro of their loves, they do not hesitate to dig up the ax of war to poke at the distro "Enemy".

          Frequently, from the many blogs of Linux, we criticize users of Windows and, above all, those of MacOSX calling them "Mind slaves" However, we do not get to reason if the most recent controversy and virtual stoning against a popular distro was really triggered by moral issues or by marketing.

          1.    pandev92 said

            I do not know if MacOsx is better or not, what if I say is that their PC's are good, I would not spend a euro to buy the operating system, since I could not play most games, but like PC's, chapo, robust and durable and eyecandy.

            Linux is true, but hey, at least it gives life to things, otherwise it would all be boring.

          2.    Courage said

            I have used Mac OS X until I sold the Mac Mini, and the truth is that Linux and Mac OS X are very very similar, it seems stupid to pay the pasture that they are worth unless you are a graphic designer because it is not justified.

            Mac OS X is a BSD, no more, no less

            What you propose deserves a deep reflection on our attitude.
            What can we do?
            That's the million dollar question. Creating awareness is not an easy task, we can set an example, but awareness ...
            Everything is a question of education and that work corresponds to all of us.
            But let's not forget the model of society that we have created. Competitiveness is the basis of our education, it is what makes an upside down world work ...

          4.    Courage said

            One option is to screw those who have that behavior (Canoni $ oft) but it is radical, although trying to be good with them is silly

            pandev92 y Courage:

            I am a user of Mac from the age of ten, in fact my father gave me the first one that I used in 1990 just when I turned ten, and since then I have used them. The truth is that they are very robust PCs -both software and hardware- that fail very, very, rarely.

            José Miguel:
            I agree with you that this problem should invite us to a deep reflection, first to realize that in Linux There are distros that are created and distributed by companies with a marketing endorsement, not at the level of Microsoft but if similar in terms of proportions and, more recently, with the same type of ethics. And this has nothing to do with competitiveness.

          6.    Courage said

            Well, in mine the recorder began to fail and as a result of that more problems. I remember he gave me a kernel panic just for putting a pendrive in ...

            You would have to see percentages of everything

          7.    Tina Toledo said

            I have a Mac MiniBut I don't use it for work but as part of the multimedia center of my van, so it only serves for the child to watch films or listen to music while we travel.

            I use it with both CDs and USB sticks and it has worked well for me.

          8.    José Miguel said

            You say: "Within the GNU / Linux ecosystem there are already vested interests and a fierce struggle to eliminate the uncomfortable 'competitor'." After it is not a question of competitiveness, you confuse me a bit, because you transfer the debate to different aspects. Even so, I agree with you.
            : )

          9.    Tina Toledo said

            José Miguel
            What happens is that I do not see the matter as a matter of competitiveness -ability to compete- but as a competition -people and / or companies that compete in a market offering the same product-

    Worldwide, we are very few Linux users, to be throwing ourselves down, if we already have the vast majority who use win32 throwing us out, what a need.
    Apart from being told ubuntoso, it doesn't offend me, they have told me worse things for using linux or trying to program with open source tools.

      Man what Ubuntoso is not used for all Ubuntu users
