Beyond Bash: Microsoft Refines the Windows Subsystem for Linux

Interesting that Microsoft is so eager to support enough syscalls for non-GUI developers. But I wonder how much this increases the attack surface of both Windows and the WSL Linux.

&quot;the increasing number of developers considering a move from Mac OS because they find the MacBook Pro underpowered for their needs&quot;<p>Why the need to insert anti Mac FUD into a technical article?<p>&quot;via a pico driver with Microsoft’s clean room implementation of the Linux syscall interface.&quot;<p>Why clean room it, the kernel is GPL after all. This whole Linux-on-Windows strategy is nothing more than a ploy to slow down Linux adoption. Provide enough features to call it Linux without being actually being useful.
