It's to improve the functionality of their team foundation server. A team server solution that can go into a mixed shop will be awesome and they will probably sell a lot more licenses.
"Visual Studio Team Foundation Server"?Why does this sound like it is going to be another MicrosoftReally Expensive Tool Collection Hierarchy?
Why's it a surprise. They ship Linux as a component of their high-end database systems (link and quote in the comments above). They had Linux IE versions. Why not tools too.
I hate team foundation... the other day it lost a few thousand lines of code... good thing I did a traditional backup. The locking mechanism is s**t and the product just sucks ass. Your better off using a shred folder for source control. If you don't believe try moving a project around on your harddrive if its under source control.
