If you take a close look at windows, you'll see that WSL is already doing a pretty good job of giving you that UNIX environment (really Linux) on windows. Things like proper apt-get and not having to deal with Homebrew are nice. It is early days, but things keep getting better. The 'I need Unix' crowd will soon find that Windows is a much better Unix than macOS ever was.

> Windows is a much better Unix Cutler must be crying right now.

  Tears of joy, I presume. This certainly does feel like a golden opportunity for NT to reassert itself... Lackluster team at Apple clearly can't maintain quality standards for macOS + strong Windows 10 performance, faster iteration, and a full Linux environment that's better than macOS's. Now if only Windows Phone wasn't being completely ignored (who knows, maybe it could have been a better Android than Android)...
