[Cialug] Well Done Microsoft?

[Justin Richeson]

Not supposed to be custom. The "kernel" is a custom interface I believe,
but everything else is supposed to be stock. It has some limitations. It
doesn't start at boot and has no gui (not sure if you can install/run x or
not).

Speaking of MS, has anyone seen the Anniversary Edition of Win10?  I know
this was talked about a few months ago, but I couldn't believe it until I
saw it.  You can enable features to turn on native bash.  There's a few
small hoops that you need to jump through, but you can run bash as well as
a host of other Linux commands.  It downloads some flavor of Ubuntu, I'm
guessing customized for this purpose.  And as advertised, the executables
are ELF format, not just recompiled to EXEs.  Amazing how some new
leadership at MS can have such an impact.
