"Who is this kind of thing aimed at?"

Poeple who need to run legacy *nix stuff in a Windows environment. You get all the security, integration, perfomance and management advantages of Windows as a front end to run your *nix based cruft on.

Quite a few enterprises i have worked with are looking at it - as it means they can avoid the pain of native Linux on a desktop or having to manage it under a VDI environment and they can eliminate an entire team that used to manage this crap in large organisations.
