Note it says "possibly". Also, Linux migration is going to take a long time, and they probably will support multiple operating systems anyway.

  ...they probably will support multiple operating systems anyway.
  You say that as if it would only be good if the support were exclusive to Linux. As long as the support is not exclusive to MS, life is good. More mainstream support for Linux can only be a good thing.
