If Windows compatibility is such a big issue then just recommend/stay with Windows end to end.
But I bet you want Linux so you can cut your own or your customers costs. But if in the end you have an MS-approved linux distro, you'll end up paying something, somewhere along the line, guaranteed.
MS could always have helped compatibility and interoperability for free if they wanted. But true to their business nature, they have to get something out of a deal like this.
And rightly so - they do have share holders to answer to.
So, don't get your hopes up.
