What is the message Microsoft wants to put through to embedded system integrators? Is it possibly "you better come to us what to use as system software for your gadgets or..."?

However, I find it a bit strange tactic since embedded system integrators haven't had pleasant times with FOSS and thus one would think the opposite tactic could play better to win the integrators souls.
