WSFU actually worked and was useful if you added a 3rd party X Server that could be used by the Explorer desktop. I agree WSL is better. But now we have PCs with enough RAM for a full VM install; and shared folders, drag & drop clipboard, USB etc all seems trivial to set up (XP, Win7 and Win10 on VB on Linux and XP on Win10).
