In theory I would agree with you, but clearly a lot of businesses are not rational. Just look at how many built stuff on top of MS products to begin with!

- ta848347 8y agoHow is that not rational? You're letting your biases cloud your judgement.
- Nullabillity 8y ago> I think it's ridiculously naive to think that businesses are going to build on top of a closed source licensed system like WSL when with minimal effort they could choose Linux. The business risks of the former are huge and they're handing a big lever to MS to screw them in the future - why would they do that? All of that applies just as much to native Windows development, except you no longer have a canonical escape hatch (aside from WINE, I guess).
