Impressive, and very interesting! 
Also, some guys have got X11 running on top of this shell.
Now, that is cool

Give some people an inch and they take a mile.
Give others one OS and they take another.

Well you have Ubuntu running on Windows 10, and X11 running on Ubuntu, so now if someone gets Wine running on X11, then we can have Notepad running on Wine running on X11 running on Ubuntu running on Windows 10. Inception!

Mind blown!

Whoa now - let's not get fancy!

Gratz! 
Might finally run X11 application, out of curiosity!
(hey, I heard there was nice SVG editors on Linux! might be worth it!!!)

I am very interested in this since I use linux and windows about 50% each. I'd like to see if performance is improved over the cygwin implementation as far as processing bash scripts.

Keep in mind that when you are on bash on Ubuntu, you cannot run Windows apps from there. You are essentially in an isolated sub-system.

Thanks. That would still be fine for most of my cygwin usage.

I think someone is gonna find a way to circumvent it.
My take would be that Microsoft will release an Ubuntu cli command to launch UWPs.

Apart from that, it's cortana, cortana, cortana.
Mind you, the "Find my Desktop" looks interesting.
No, wait--- it's at home in my computer room!

eh, wake me up when they've fixed windowsupdate, when the control panel and startmenu don't make me waaaait for them, and when they've actually got the control panel fully integrated.
i don't know why these fluffy things you mention are even being worked on when core stuff (well, ok, top level UI stuff) is broken.

Why are we talking about *nix running on Windows being cool?
Netmanage Chameleon had this working smoothly around about 1992 on Windows 3.1.
Cygwin has allowed this for years. And there are other locally compiled shells and utils:
Native Win32 ports of some GNU utilities[^]
In my view, there are no mission critical apps that require Linux (ubuntu or otherwise). And we have been able to run *nix on VMs sitting on Windows boxes for years.
Am I just missing something or is it just having another way to do the same thing one more time 25 years after it was innovative?

It's mainly to allow folks to use Linux dev tools not ported to Windows yet.

Am I Allowed To Share Free Things?
I am serious, is it okay to give my book away for free?
If the book were written by another author and I was giving you the link to a free technical book would that be okay?
My book is a technical book and related to the community here. I can understand if it weren't how this might anger some.

I can't speak officially, but personally, I'd say it looks interesting. I'd download it for free if I had a Kindle (but I don't).
I'd prefer PDF-format, though.
But seeing it's not PDF and I don't have a Kindle, I guess I'll have to wait until it comes out as a movie (on Pirate Bay)...

Thanks Griff. 
That was extremely nice of you to post that and for whoever let me through the spam filter.
I really appreciate it.

No problem!
I can't see it as spam if you are giving it away! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

A somewhat flawed piece of logic, wouldn't you say? Now you've set the precedent are you going to let me publicise my free list of aliens in power around the world or peddle my free advice on bringing down the Government using nothing but a thumbnail drive and an apple core?
I don't have any problems with the decision. I just wonder whether which slippery slope it may lead us to.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
