There is absolutely no profit for Microsoft in the Linux market. What are they going to do, introduce Microsoft Office for Linux and try to compete with the half-dozen office apps that are available for free? Microsoft can't make any money in the Linux market and they know it - which is why they are investing heavily in video games (xbox) and online media distribution (movies/music), two areas where they do not face competition from Linux.
