I had to rub my eyes and read the announcement twice!! 🙂
Microsoft announces the general availability of Microsoft Build of OpenJDK:

Java at Microsoft spans from Azure to Minecraft, across SQL Server to Visual Studio Code, LinkedIn and beyond! We use more Java than one can imagine.
The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is a new no-cost long-term supported distribution and Microsoft’s new way to collaborate and contribute to the Java ecosystem.
I downloaded JDK 11 from Microsoft, tested with a variety of MQ/Java programs this afternoon and everything worked as expected.
Microsoft is offering OpenJDK builds for Windows (of course), Linux and macOS (Mac OS X). There are early access builds for Linux on ARM64 and Windows on ARM64.
20 years later, Microsoft is fully supporting Java. Either the world is upside down or just gone mad. 🙂
