So Linux programs should work well in windows
I vaguely remember the POSIX subsystem being available in Windows NT versions up to and including Windows 2000 (NT 5.0). That they returned to providing compatibility with the UNIX family is good, but I wonder what the practical utility is going to be?
Docker would be one strong motivation (Docker for Windows sucks big time).
Also, the development ecosystem is much richer on Linux. Much more choice.
Could be useful at times.
That being said I'd never use Windows as a primary development platform unless I had to use MS frameworks.
