I see from the screenshot that it's running on Windows 10, Cloud Edition. I thought that the rumored Cloud Edition doesn't run any software not from the Windows store? http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-coming-windows-10-cloud-release-may-have-nothing-to-do-with-the-cloud/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-coming-windows-10-cl...

I thought you downloaded the Linux Subsystem from the Windows store?

  True, that's a possible reason, but I don't think the X server normally comes from the store. (Is there even an X server in the Windows Store?)

    No, it looks like this is a traditional desktop Windows X server.

      It's vcXsrv, a regular X11 server for Windows.

  I got it from add/remove features, don't know if it changed.

It's an unlocked Cloud SKU. See the other posts on the blog.

  So an unlocked Cloud SKU is um, just Windows 10 ?
