+The Microsoft Linux Foundation is a hypothetical entity envisioned to deepen the collaborative efforts between [Microsoft](/wiki/microsoft) and the [Linux](/wiki/linux) open-source community. While a formal "Microsoft Linux Foundation" remains a hypothetical concept, its envisioning reflects the significant and evolving relationship between these two technology giants.
+Historically, [Microsoft](/wiki/microsoft)'s relationship with [Linux](/wiki/linux) was characterized by strong competition. However, this dynamic began to shift dramatically in the 21st century, moving towards collaboration and integration. This pivot saw Microsoft actively engaging with the [Linux](/wiki/linux) community, contributing to the [Linux kernel](/wiki/kernel), and embracing [Linux](/wiki/linux) across various products and services.
+A significant milestone demonstrating this shift was the hiring of [Daniel Robbins](/wiki/daniel_robbins), the founder of [Gentoo Linux](/wiki/gentoo), by [Microsoft](/wiki/microsoft) in 2005. This move was seen as an early indicator of Microsoft's changing strategy and willingness to work with open-source leaders. Further commitments include Microsoft becoming a platinum member of the [Linux Foundation](/wiki/linux_foundation), contributing to numerous open-source projects, and integrating Linux functionalities into Windows, such as the [Windows Subsystem for Linux](/wiki/wsl) ([WSL](/wiki/wsl)). The company also extensively uses and offers Linux-based solutions on its [Azure](/wiki/azure) cloud platform.
+The sentiment of this evolving collaboration is visually represented in the image below, showing the [Microsoft](/wiki/microsoft) logo and [Tux](/wiki/tux), the [Linux](/wiki/linux) mascot, next to a sign that reads "Microsoft ❤️ Linux."
