Anyone else find the "Windows Subsystem for x" naming terribly confusing? It sounds like the exact opposite of what it is.

  Same since day one I always get it the other way around. I still don't understand why it is named like that.

  It makes sense if it's read Windows' (Subsystem for x) rather than as (Windows Subsystem) for x.

    After all these years being confused, finally I saw some explanation that actually makes sense, thank you.

      I also always thought it was backwards. Only when you asked did I finally think about how to make sense of it and understood myself. Thanks for asking.
