Azure Linux 4.0 is Microsoft’s first general-purpose Linux Microsoft’s in-house Linux, the distribution that grew out of CBL-Mariner, just hit public preview as a general-purpose cloud OS you can run on any Azure VM. Here is why that is a real step in Microsoft’s Linux journey, not just a version bump. Microsoft shipped Azure Linux 4.0 into public preview at Build 2026, and for the first time you can run it on any Azure virtual machine, not just as the host underneath Azure Kubernetes Service.

Arm moves into the heart of the cloud stack
Arm-based processors are becoming a fundamental part of modern cloud infrastructure, moving beyond being a mere option. Major hyperscalers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are deploying Arm silicon to meet growing demands for performance while controlling power consumption and cost. This shift is enabling significant efficiency gains, with some companies reporting substantial cost savings and performance improvements by adopting heterogeneous cloud environments.
Microsoft's open source tools were hacked to steal passwords of AI developers
Microsoft has cut off access to dozens of its open source projects hosted on GitHub as it investigates how hackers apparently breached the projects and injected password-stealing malware into the code. Many of the affected projects relate to Microsoft’s cloud service Azure and other tools used by developers to code with AI development apps, such as Claude Code, Gemini’s command line interface, and VS Code. According to security firm Cloudsmith and community-driven malware analysis site...
Microsoft Build: Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, Coreutils for Windows, air-gapped GitHub and more
Microsoft’s Build event is under way in San Francisco, USA, with the expected focus on agentic AI but also a few surprises, such as Unix-style Coreutils for Windows. CEO Satya Nadella presented Project Solara, based on future devices which "are not meant to run traditional apps. They are designed for agents," according to applied science group leader Steven Bathiche; it is as much aspiration than specific plans and whether it is dream or nightmare is open to question.
Has Microsoft Lost Its Mojo (Again)?
This week, Satya Nadella kicked off Microsoft’s annual Build developer’s conference with typical boasts about new products and a sunny view of AI.

Let’s talk about EU Sovereignty First and foremost, I really dislike the term because it’s laden with all sorts of militaristic and anti-free movement and all sorts of other problematic baggage, but it’s the term the industry is using, so we go with it I guess until the current push is over and we can quietly suggest a different term like happened with git branch names and replication terms. It's also annoying to spell correctly.
Grep this: Microsoft grafts (most) Linux commands onto Windows
Steve Ballmer’s darkest fear has come to pass: Linux has worked itself into the deepest innards of Microsoft Windows itself. At the company’s annual Build developer conference this week, Microsoft released coreutils, a Rust-built multi-call binary file for Windows that serves over 75 Unix commands directly in the Windows CMD and PowerShell command lines – including favorites such as cat, ls, grep, and head. They join Linux favorites curl and sudo which were earlier added to the Microsoft...

Microsoft launches its own AI models to take on OpenAI and Anthropic
Seven in-house models unveiled at Build 2026 signal Microsoft's push to cut costs and compete directly on the AI frontier as its biggest investees plan to launch record-breaking IPOs. Microsoft has unveiled a family of seven in-house AI models at its annual Build developer conference in San Francisco, in the clearest sign yet that the tech giant is moving to reduce its dependence on the AI companies it has poured billions into.
