Microsoft has surprised many in the Linux developer community in recent years. Surprises have included bringing things like the Bash shell to Windows, or native OpenSSH in Windows 10, and even including Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, and Fedora in the Windows Store. Microsoft is now going even further, with plans to ship a full Linux kernel directly in Windows 10.

True. Maybe the Linux community shouldn't be so happy about this announcement. Probably gonna be alot of attention to learning how to abuse this kernel :emoji_grimacing:. Oh well but I wonder what MS will try next, Chrome and now Linux kernel? Weird news but thanks....

I find it strange that they gave up on Edge for Chromium but they commit to their own linux kernel which is probably far less significant.
