Knowing nothing about this, I wonder if they're getting ready to retire Windows Server, and wanted to get their server products off it?

Edit: How they did it is also quite fascinating:

>a key contribution of Drawbridge is a version of Windows that has been enlightened to run within a single Drawbridge picoprocess.

MSSQL on Linux only seems to use parts of that project (a smaller abstraction layer), but that's still super cool.
