Don't you think this is another Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish strategy from Microsoft?
I think it’s more embrace. They have to compete against so many more entities now.
This is my thought, they've all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they'd rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.
Poorly. WSL is awesome but it's I/O performance is not at a level which will make developers on bigger projects happy.
