I think it's a move to avoid patent/copyright infringement as they grab the server market. Also, they can now utilize some of the server optimization developed by the open source folk.

According to Netcraft, this is the first year that *nix/apache servers lost market-share to windows/iis. The number of win/iis deployments grew and the number of *nix/apache deployments shrunk by significant percentages.

Windows has been Posix compliant since either NT 3.5.2 or NT 4.0. Means they share a common core kernal with most Posix compliant unix systems. Both Unix and Linux servers have hooks into the core kernals to optimize server performance and at some point, to obtain specific optimization, you pretty much have to use almost identical code.

Of course that fact that Oracle's finessed RedHat out of the corporate market adds spice to the mix. MS doesn't want Oracle dictating the future.
