Absolutely, but the core development started as a personal project by Linus in 1991. The existence and ongoing maintaince of the product is owed to a collective effort of both individuals and corporate contributions, not a specific corporation looking to push a product. My point largely is that if Microsoft can't make a better problem than something that doesn't earn a guaranteed revenue stream, they largely have themselves to blame.
