I think the reason why Microsoft sponsors these events is because they realized that anyone trying some new idea for a web service/product is unlikely to spend more than they have to. So if they aren't going to use MS products, then at least they can rent Azure instances.

Let's say its proper name... it's called Micro$hit. Micro because they have a tiny oOo and $hit because their politics are pure horse $hit. Do you know the last one? They are trying to prevent Winblows Update from working on AMD Rizen CPUs (and will probably try to prevent the CPU from working in future updates) if you have Windows 7 (the latest sane OS). But NO Micro$hit, people don't want your latest shiny $hit - the "glorious" Win$hit 10. You can shove it up your a$$.

And just outside, there will be a large wooden horse, and at night a hidden trapdoor will open and dozens of microsoft staffers will leap out and put Windows 10 DVDs in all the gift bags, under seat cushions, and hijack the network so all linux download pages take you to download.microsoft.com.
