Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. It sounds like an article written to show that Windows is finally understanding and has now embraced Linux, therefore users do not need to run away anymore : "Come back guys, we have all the Linux you love here inside Windows." This article does not seem to be an honnest point of view to me.
- pjmlp 7y agoLinux only took off on PC because POSIX support was pretty lame in the beginning, and later on not many care about SUA and Interix. So we had to look elsewhere to run UNIX at home. Nowadays Linux ABI is more valuable than plain POSIX source compatibility, hence WSL. Which by the way Windows wasn't the first to go through this route.
