"Don't they already get enough money
Maybe you don't agree or understand the basics of why companies exist, but making more money is pretty high on the list of things to do. "
Jump at conclusions enough? Know a thing about reading comprehension?
Nice job at taking the very first part of what I said, automatically assume I don't know what I'm talking about based on just that, and go on as if I don't know how companies operate and why they exist in the first place.
How about you read the rest of what I said, make an attempt to comprehend it without jumping to conclusions, and then respond?
In case you still can't figure it out, I am slamming Microsoft's monopolistic and abusive business tactics and their sleazy ways of making money for things that THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH, often under empty "patent" threats. Next thing you know, they're going to want you to pay them to buy something that doesn't even run Microsoft software. Oh, wait... [get the point?]

Supporting Linux on their cloud computing is not related to their repeated abuses of monopolistic behavior. At least not yet.
Now if IE could only connect to websites that were hosted by azure, then that would be an abuse and your comment would have made sense.
If they were sending bills to every company that ran linux installs in the cloud, that would be an abuse.

if you choose MS Azure, its really you that have chosen the VM. I don't think there will be many takers over Amazon Cloud, but that might be a good way to have a little better redundancy that what a single provider can give.
