linux is hardly a threat, for obvious reasons they have incorporated WSL into Windows 10 and it will soon have GUI support. Microsoft is going APPS on all platforms approach with their Azure cloud infrastructure. Windows is just a tool to deliver their software on and Linux is a large part of that tooling, hence it's now integrated.
Windows is integrated in all their hardware offerings except for mobile phones so they have control over their game content business with PC and Xbox running on the same base OS. This also applies to their cloud business with hypervisors likely to run on their own operating systems.
