Microsoft Java got released

Yes, you read correctly. We just announced the Preview of Microsoft Build of OpenJDK on Twitter and on the official announcement.

The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is a new no-cost Long-Term Support (LTS) distribution of OpenJDK. It is open source and available for free for anyone to deploy anywhere.

It includes binaries for Java 11, based on OpenJDK 11.0.10+9, on x64 server and desktop environments on macOS, Linux, and Windows. We are also publishing a new Early Access binary for Java 16 for Windows on ARM, based on the latest OpenJDK 16+36 release.
