Except that would be negative not positive. Microsoft is all about making lots of money and measuring KPI.
I dunno, I think they make more from server and that tech stack is still likely to be proprietary as hell. And Linux doesn't really have anything that could adequately take the place of Active Directory and group policy (I mean, you could, but it would be a ton of work getting it up and running at a similar level). They could also still sell their OS with the promise of everything working the same as people are used to out of the box.
But I don't think they'll go that direction, at least not for a while
While I get the Microshaft hate, it's still a major part of enterprise computing and it's not going away anytime soon. Both the .NET platform and .NET Core are open source, so rebuilding Windows on them would necessarily make it a more open system, which could only be a good thing.
