This is so fat-headed.
"did you know, you can actually run linux on bare metal??? zomg but it's super scary and will void your warranty and probably your dog will die and the fbi will think you're a hacker, probably because your wife will tell them, because srsly who does that otherwise?"
- supriyo-biswas 3y agoSEO is the name of the game, and Microsoft is hoping to capitalize on some of the traffic and direct it towards WSL. Obviously their interests are selfish (as is the nature of business), but that explains some of the language.
- jojobas 3y agoStill a huge leap from the point where MS bootloaders would not load Linux on purpose or otherwise acknowledge its existence. You didn't expect a Microsoft KB article saying 'windoze suxx, here's how to remove it' did you?
