Not sure how I feel about this. It's great to see that Microsoft is welcoming Linux in some form, but is this the way they should be doing such?

I'd rather that microsoft would make a 1st party WINE. All I can see this as is a move to try and convert linux users to windows.

As a Linux user, I'd still go with the traditional method, even if this "easier" method is still around. I don't see this as a ploy at all, but rather as a sign of collaboration and opening of arms between the two operating systems.

Good to see that Microsoft helps people to switch from Windows to Linux. Windows 10 is bad spyware so that's just right.

Now if only they were to show some love for Skype on Linux...

I see this mainly benefiting developers being able to use the Linux tools they are familiar with.

If they put kali Linux I'll be happy.
