This might be an inconsequential niggle, but I kind of dislike the Microsoft's approach to naming. Like calling this "rust for windows" makes it sound somewhat grandiose, and maybe as if Rust is somehow endorsing or expanding support for Windows, when it appears to be just a crate which auto-generates wrappers for windows API's.
The same applies to "Windows Subsystem for Linux" - maybe I'm alone but to me this sounds more like Linux was getting a bit windows embedded inside it rather than the other way around.
Also I find it a bit arrogant that VSCode wants to name-squat the very general term "code" in my PATH. vscode is already quite short and clear, and would have made a perfectly suitable cli name.
