Linux operating system is one such that changed the entire computing world and now many servers and many users also started using Linux operating system. Recently there is a news that Microsoft is going to release its own Linux operating system.
Linux has been ignored by many users earlier stating that it has no GUI and it is hard to operate but after that due to the increase in cyber threats and also the flexibility it provides the users are increasing drastically.
These days Linux has no GUI on its own but can be managed by any third party GUI such as KDE and Chinnamon and many more. Now Microsoft has developed a new Linux operating system in the name #Azure Cloud Switch (ACS).
This new operating system has been developed to make it easier to handle the hardware from multiple vendors (hardware such as router, switch etc.) that powers Microsoft's cloud services.
Microsoft describes it by stating that "Cross - platform modular operating system for data center networking built on Linux" or simply "Commodity switch software stack for data center networks".
ACS is not for desktop or servers in near future it is not for consumer usage it has been developed mainly by Microsoft as an internal tool to debug and test their products with higher speed. It has been demonstrated in #SIGCOMM on August 2015.
