Microsoft are up to something ...... I just cannot see it yet.

This is big news.
MS are making lots of new 'Friends' at the moment. 
It is now a waiting game to see who cracks first and knifes the other in the back.
"Leopard and Spots" and "Strange Bedfellows" comes to mind.

I will keep my money in my pocket for now, but there is a good bet coming.

hmmmmm

Microsoft has also famously buried the hatched with former rival Salesforce, even getting to the point where it was in talks to acquire the company.

It's part of a bigger trend called "desktop virtualization" in which IT departments offer app stores and don't run every app on the device, but stream them from their data centers, or the cloud.

VMware believes Project A2 will encourage businesses to upgrade to Windows 10 by giving them an easier way to roll it out and move all their apps from Windows 7 machines to new Windows 10 machines.

That sounds like the attraction to MS.
