One of Microsoft’s more surprising initiatives lately revolves around the open source Linux community. The company has been making a concerted effort to expand their cross-platform support not only for productivity works on iOS and Android but also those who want to run virtual Linux machines in the cloud.

Today, the Microsoft Mechanics team posted a video demonstrating Red Hat Linux running on Azure:
