" the Win32 container is new, though apparently it borrows technology from the Windows Subsystem for Linux"

Firstly, to whoever said "the new version of Windows will basically be Linux with a Windows skin", you're not far off.

Secondly, this clearly leaves the door open for WSL to run on Win10X, quite possibly as a container. This way you'll be able to run packaged Linux apps 'natively' on Windows (sort of like backwards Wine), and you all know what that means right?

It's the year of Linux on the desktop!

(not sorry)
