"the increasing number of developers considering a move from Mac OS because they find the MacBook Pro underpowered for their needs"
Why the need to insert anti Mac FUD into a technical article?
"via a pico driver with Microsoft’s clean room implementation of the Linux syscall interface."
Why clean room it, the kernel is GPL after all. This whole Linux-on-Windows strategy is nothing more than a ploy to slow down Linux adoption. Provide enough features to call it Linux without being actually being useful.
- predakanga 10y agoAll FUD aside, "developers looking for an alternative to the new MBP" is a pretty decent market to capture. I have no doubt that Microsoft are directing their efforts to try and take advantage of them.
- hamandcheese 10y agoI think it makes a lot more sense to clean room it. Most (all?) of the functionality is already present in the Windows kernel, there just needs to be a Linux compatible API exposed. The alternative is to... run two kernels? I doubt that's feasible in any form that doesn't resemble running a Linux VM.
