Abstract
Under the leadership of new CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft has become more supportive of collaborating with open source projects. Microsoft listens to customers that are building solutions, which in turn drives sales revenue. Microsoft’s .NET Core server stack is open source, and it supports cross-platform development. Microsoft’s Azure HDInsight is an example of this shift, with direct support of big-data analytics using the open source Apache Hadoop framework. In Microsoft Azure, this integration supports many languages including PHP, Node.js, Java, Python, Hadoop, and others. The change in Microsoft’s support for the open source community has increased the number of open source solutions running on Microsoft Windows by 400%, from 80,000 applications in 2009 spiraling up to 350,000 applications by 2011.
