One thing I’d like to point out is that Linux On Windows is becoming
a thing, to the point that you can execute native Linux applications for
the most part directly in this weird environment.
So even M$ sees that Linux could be a threat in the long term and is
making an attempt to prevent it from harming the M$ universe.
See, you can run your Linux code on Windows, why do you want to
run Linux now? 8^)
