There's even one committer from Microsoft aboard, Wes Witt. ;-)

When they tried to get a foot into the Fruit-Pi community by
porting Windows and tools to it, they were also interested in
getting AVRDUDE to compile under their toolchain.

It got quite silent around that topic though lately. I guess they
weren't all that successful with the entire project, not regarding
AVRDUDE but the overall Fruit-Pi community. To be fair, neither did
projects like FreeBSD gain much terrain in that area, even though
technically, they can handle the Pi platform as well.
