Alongside pouring resources into the Windows Subsystem for Linux, it would be nice if MS would put some resources into a Linux Subsystem for Windows. That is, do for WINE what they've done for Cygwin.
- iamwpj 7y agoI agree. I would argue that bring powershell to Linux is a good step in this direction, but it's missing some key components (Active directory...) still.
- juststeve 7y agoDon't worry about Active Directory, just sign up to Azure.
- pjmlp 7y agoThey have hardly done anything for cygwin. Windows NT had Windows Services for UNIX, replaced by Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications on Windows 2003 until Windows 8, eventually replaced by Windows Subsystem for Linux, given that now Linux API compatibility has became more relevant than straight POSIX code compatibility.
