Can't do it, Google owns that business model. I mean, they managed to do that twice? Must have taken them some serious effort!
- techntoke 7y agoNot really, Microsoft has a lot of enterprise customers and when their first user experience to Linux is WSL they are immediately turned off and unable to even take it seriously. I can at least take Android and ChromeOS serious enough to see it being viable for most desktop users and small businesses. Android, along with G Suite, is great for mobile enterprise management.
- hobs 7y agoThen why did Microsoft just recently patch it and make it better? (WSL)
- techntoke 7y agoHave you used the new unreleased version yet?
- hobs 7y agoDoes it matter? Your premise is "they are shipping this bad thing on purpose" - what would be the point of making it better and spending more money on it if you were making it bad on purpose? Apply Hanlon's Razor, and dont assume everyone has a grand plan.
- oblio 7y agoHave you seen the same enterprise users try a Linux distro? I can assure you that the reaction is not better...
- detaro 7y agoThe scenario of someone not knowing Linux at all but then using WSL seems fairly unlikely compared to someone knowing Linux and using it to get a Linux environment on a Windows box.
