The one good thing about all of this is Microsoft would be contributing the code back to Apache and there would be more eyes looking at the Hadoop code. I am not a performance expert on cross-platform applications, but it might be a challenge to make same version of Hadoop perform better on Linux and Windows at the same time. Apache Hadoop unpatched doesn't run neither on IBM JDK/defunct Apache Harmony/Open JDK, now Windows is being added to the mix. Apache Hadoop documentation recommends Oracle JDK 6. Not sure, if Microsoft will give enough focus on Hadoop along with Dryad. NET and Windows and would be running much more efficiently on Windows than Hadoop on Windows. Then there is Dryad (platform for distributed computing) and DryadLINQ (high level abstraction language for distributed computing) from Microsoft.

Later read that, Hadoop has been replaced with some other software by Microsoft after acquisition (disclaimer : not 100% sure about it). Microsoft acquired semantic search engine PowerSet, which is now part of the Bing search engine. It's not the first time Hadoop and Microsoft came together. In the future, we would also be seeing Hadoop on Windows in production.
Till date, Hadoop is being run only on Linux in production, but on Windows and Linux for development. As some of you might have read HortonWorks and Microsoft have partnered, to get Hadoop running on Windows.
