Re: native Linux userland in Windows 10

they can run natively as-is in Windows 10.

So it's not the same thing as Cygwin, technically, it's more like a
reverse Wine.

So you can get, allegedly, the full Linux userland out-of-the-box.

In theory yes, in practice only as far as they implemented the Linux Kernel
API correctly (be it by mistake or deliberately).

Has anyone had a chance to try this new feature?

I'm not happy with Win10 (cause it forces updates), so i don't have
much desire to try it out.
