Microsoft is showing some early signs of success with a version of Windows geared for a technical computing market that Linux dominates today...

Microsoft has had some successes moving from a market in which it's strong into an adjacent market where it's not. For example, Microsoft moved from operating system software to desktop software, and from Windows on PCs to Windows on servers.
