It will have the same limitations

Windows simply cannot do what Linux can do under the hood and the old Windows Unix subsystem and Cygwin show the limitations.

If you want to run applications in a Linux like way then there are disadvantages to try and do it on a compatibility layer on Windows.

That said, it might making porting applications over as well as integrating with a Linux environment an easier task which has to be a good thing!
