Honestly, seems like all roads here lead to Microsoft swallowing Linux userbase whole. What's next, RedHat on Server?

- bitcrazed 11y agoSwallowing? No. Supporting, yes! We want Windows to be your home - the best place to build apps for all the platforms and all the devices. Period. In case you've not noticed, this is a very, VERY different Microsoft, one I re-joined recently precisely to work on this very feature! :D
- niutech 11y agoIf you want Windows to be Linux users' home, then how isn't it swallowing them and dragging them from an open source environment to a closed source one? More questions: Will it be backported to Windows 8.1? How does it differ from CoLinux and andLinux?
- asp_hornet 11y ago>If you want Windows to be Linux users' home, then how isn't it swallowing them and dragging them from an open source environment to a closed source one? because no one is forcing linux users to do anything. can you really not see the difference between giving an option to developers and "dragging linux users"
- simplemath 11y agoI'm not commenting on the "good or badness" of this move - it's a brilliant power play from MSFT
- pritambaral 11y ago> We want Windows to be your home I'd rather have a home I have control over, or even trust in.
