A light-weight solution would have been nice. Something like containers. But again, the problem is that Microsoft wanted to have binary compatibility. That would mean containers w/ Linux ABI emulation, or a proper VM. Well, Linux ABI emulation has been tried by many people: - Sun (twice) - Joyent (once, based on earlier tech from Sun) - FreeBSD - Microsoft (WSL1) - probably others and... it's just too difficult. It's ETOOHARD. So they all failed.
