Microsoft for the first time in its history publishes a Linux-based system

Microsoft Linux

Without a doubt something unusual has happened by Microsoft and it is not surprising that many are surprised by what they have just done, the simple fact that take one of your opponents as the basis for one of your products it is extremely unimaginable.

After several decades of having a direct war between both sides, the one that today is witnessing a union that possibly changes the course of things either for better or for worse.

For a short time, things have been changing and it is honestly something of a surprise, because the true objective of Microsoft has not yet been revealed in carrying out all this kind of things.

The simple fact that they decided to include the execution of bash within Windows already gives you a lot to think about.

The system that Microsoft has launched will be based on the Linux KernelIt should be clarified that this has been modified, this has the code name Azure Sphere.

 Azure Sphere OS a Linux system created by Microsoft for the Internet of Things

Azure Sphere OS is open source and is intended to improve the security of the Internet of Things. With this system Microsoft proposes to begin to take a position in this area.

It is true that even devices that can be linked to the network They are not something that is had in the whole world, since it is still considered a luxury to have this type of article.

Azure Sphere OS

Here we go with this, not all people have a refrigerator, a stove, a toaster, lights, doors, among others that are designed to have an internet connection and can be either controlled or monitored by this means.

It is because of that Microsoft proposes with Azure Sphere OS to provide security to this type of articles, with which it intends to be able to cover or solve all those security errors that they may have.

With this part guarantees a security service in the cloud with constant updates.

And not only this, but within the plans they have they also include ecological solutions where with the help of their system they offer to be able to save the use and energy they can use.

Safety is critical to connected IoT experiencess. Don't rely on your brand for just one line of defense and second-best solutions. Azure Sphere's holistic approach to security is based on years of Microsoft research and experience.

Together, the Azure Sphere crossover MCU, our secure operating system, and turnkey cloud security service protect all Azure Sphere devices, delivering end-to-end security that responds to emerging threats, so you don't have to. .

On the Internet, new security threats emerge every day. Azure Sphere provides a foundation of security and connectivity that enables you to create smart products and experiences that customers love, and bring them to market quickly, at a price that enables large-scale IoT.

I can personally argue that with this step by Microsoft with Azure Sphere, We will begin to see in a couple of years a new market with a lot of competition.

Well, we not only have smartphones, if you take a more in-depth look at the new technologies that are being created and especially the new devices that have been created and tested in real life.

A practical example is the great advances that have been made with autonomous cars, where Google and Tesla are fighting this market.

In just over 30 or 40 years we will be living in a world where all household items are smart. That is why large companies are beginning to prepare to embrace most of this future market.

We can know all the details from its official website the link is this.

      Well, you can think about many things, but if you see it on the side of paying salaries and maintenance, when using a software which you should not create from scratch and invest in it, the rest counts alone ...

    I do not understand what is magical, weird, suspicious or whatever it is that a corporation like Microsoft does it, when other megacorporations like Red Hat, Oracle, Novell, Amazon or IBM, looooooong years ago.

    Actually, it is news that I like a lot, since nowadays free software advances based on advances from large corporations with a large budget to invest in it. The days when a programmer locked in his garage and a 486 released productive and profitable free software ended back in 1995.

    By the way, Linux was never a competitor or rival to Windows, since Microsoft's market niche is the end user, where Linux never penetrated more than 5% (and with good reason, for a basic user, using Linux as a terminal is pains upside down), and at the server level, Microsoft offers other things that Windows does not offer, or offers incompletely (such as Active Directory, or web servers with .NET).

    In any case, Windows' competition can be Mac OS X (now macOS), or FreeBSD, which are complete operating systems. Linux is just a kernel.

    Darkcrizt, does it really seem to you that Microsoft doesn't have the resources to start something from 0? Do you think that this simple reason takes precedence over technical reasons?

    HO2Gi, "make easy money", what's wrong with Microsoft wanting to do it? Don't all companies like Canonical or Red Hat do it?

      you know well that when we talk about Linux we are not referring to the kernel but to the distributions (Debian, Slackware, Ubuntu, OpenSuse and its dozens of derivatives), which of course are complete OS.
