And, a popular name has joined the list. + +Systemd and PulseAudio creator, **Lennart Poettering**, is now working with Microsoft while continuing his focus on systemd development, as reported by [Phoronix][2]. + +In case you are curious, Lennart used to work for Red Hat leading the PulseAudio project and a few other things. + +In addition to Lennart, some key developers like Python creator **Guido Van Rossum** have also joined Microsoft in the past. + +### Microsoft Gearing Up for The Best + +It is no surprise that Microsoft wants to improve its focus on open-source-based projects and utilize Linux as efficiently as possible for its businesses. + +The Azure platform makes the most use of it, and not to forget the **Windows Subsystem for Linux**. + +Hence, Microsoft is constantly hiring Linux developers. You will find plenty of Linux-related positions at [Microsoft Careers][3] if you want to try your skills. + +While this is a big deal for Microsoft’s line of offering, it should not affect Linux desktop users in general. In fact, I think, the more resources Linux developers get, as a result of their switch in job roles, they could help the Linux ecosystem better enhance their vision. + +Of course, it is not ideal to have all key Linux developers work on Microsoft-owned projects. But, it is what it is. + +### Microsoft is Doing Something Right + +It is not just about the financial reward, but the trend of Linux developers joining the team at Microsoft means that they have been successful at some of their efforts on open-source and Linux. + +As long as Microsoft makes an effort to improve the Linux ecosystem, I do not think we have much to worry about it. + +I would not like to be reminded of “Embrace, extend, and extinguish”. After all, it’s all business for all the companies. No one should be considered a hero when it involves money-making decisions. + +So, we can only hope that Microsoft is gearing up for something good in store for Linux developers and users in the near future. + +What do you think about it?
