Microsoft Linux Administrator?

Linux is an increasingly large portion of the Microsoft ecosystem.

Gone are the days of Linux and open source being the enemy.

I saw that, but this is still unusual because what they are teaching you in this course directly conflicts with roles and services that are generally provided by Windows Server

Would you feel weird if VMware, KVM or Xen taught this material?

I would find it weird if VMware showed you how to build a vm environment using Xen. Because they are direct competitors.

Microsoft is moving towards being an indirect competitor with Linux. They are moving away, very quickly, from being a platform company to being a services and software company.

Define competitor? Hyper-V and Azure are both products, for which a primary purpose is to host Linux. So yes, Linux might seem to you like a competitor to Windows. But Linux is not a competitor with Hyper-V or Azure and is actually a part of Azure.
So this isn't about VMware and Xen, it's about Vmware and Linux. Or Amazon and Linux. Or IBM and Linux. Microsoft has more roles that just making Windows, and most analysts agree that Azure is far more important for them than Windows is.
