As a somewhat side fact, most of Microsoft's own cloud services are running on Linux. This fact nudges me to believe the opposite of your conclusion. That is to say, changing your OS doesn't necessarily change the software you use.

That said, I would be very surprised if Microsoft's cloud offerings were as popular among Linus users.
