I think that Microsoft has missed an opportunity to pull an epic prank - announcing this 2 days later, on April the 1st. The biggest joke would be that this is real ;-)

Dustin Kirkland reports: yesterday on Microsoft’s Build developer conference Kevin Gallo presented an opening keynote. Running of complete Ubuntu userland on Windows 10.
Soon we will be able to install the complete Ubuntu Userland under Windows 10. Not in a virtual machine, not the Cygwin-like stuff. Linux ELF binaries natively running on Windows 10.



You still do not believe me, do you?
Here is another source

and of course a Slashdot discussion
https://linux.slashdot.org/story/16/...-to-windows-10

This sounds great. When I have some time I am going to try it.
