Windows Subsystem for Linux exits beta and is arriving in Fall Creators update - TechSpot

'As of Windows 10 Insider build 16251, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSUL) has officially dropped its beta qualifier and is planned for official release as part of the Fall Creators Update. '

'This promise was brought to life in the Windows Insider program bringing a beta Ubuntu app to the Windows Store. '

'Earlier this year Microsoft announced at their annual Build conference that several Linux distributions would be made available to run on top of Windows 10. ', "Windows still cannot access files inside of the sandboxed Linux distribution, although Microsoft claims they're working to improve this."

'Standard Linux command line tools such as Bash are available for use, but there are some limitations in place. '

You know it! They needed to retain developers and compel *nix developers to use WIndows. Make it look like the company has changed face and make it easier than dual-booting while not changing at all. Sadly they have not changed at all with extorting patent royalties from those shipping Android and their .NET-core "patent promise" which excludes any non-compliant implementation. Their 💖 of "Open Source" / Free Software is just smoke and mirrors, just give it a bit more time.

How is their offering going to compel *nix developers to do a damn thing?

Yes - although MS usually just patent-trolls through proxies now.

They don't love linux...but they can't attack it from the outside.
