I suppose that the big problem is that all the "kernel work" is done by the "Windows Kernel" that there isn't a ext4 driver for the Windows Kernel yet.
About running windows programs from WLS, look a the post:
>Invoke Windows processes from Linux, e.g.
> ~$ cd /mnt/c/temp/ && echo "Hello" > hello.txt && notepad.exe hello.txt
>Invoke Linux processes from Windows command-line, e.g.:
> C:\> bash -c "fortune | cowsay"
>I get that with Cygwin on winders
What was my option before as well,but the big difference was that you needed that the program you are looking for, was recompiled and included in Cygwin.
Now, you just add the relevant PPA from launchpad.net :-)
>Why do I need Micro-shaft's LAME ATTEMPT at copying Linux?
You are missing the point.
MS is not coping Linux.
You are installing the "real Ubuntu" from Canonical servers
The bit that MS did was a "translation layer" that convert the Kernel calls from all that binary identically software, to the Window's relevant kernel call.
Stop loosing developers.
Right now, most developers choose Mac because all those Linux tools that are fundamental in any bleeding each development are available.
The other option would be a full Linux Desktop, but without any big marketing muscle behind that option, it is a niche option at most.
With that solution you keep your cheaper and familiar Windows Laptop and have all those tools available.
I'm using it EVERY DAY!!!!
Work polices force me to install Windows 10.
Until last year I had a Ubuntu VM running the whole time for development.
Now I have a Bash terminal open, where I have access to all the Ubuntu tools.
The limitation is accessing from Windows the directories under WSL control. Getting around that is as simple as working the whole time in a directory under Window's control (/mnt/c)
The whole article is a misleading interpretation of the original IEEE one....
They never say that the Renewables are not worth to invest in... They say that the change they make won't we QUICK ENOUGH to avoid the climate change. That is why we new new disruptive technologies
And the last part, defending the fission is as misleading... In the article they mention nuclear FUSION!!! a completely different horse.
Even with those strident security measures, we have now TWO huge portions of the Earth completely inhabitable, imagine if those measures were not as strident.

>There's no market loyalty to WebOS like Android and iOS.
The numbers are small,because the companies behind were not able to attract new users, but for the people that actually use it, WebOS generates the biggest loyalty out there, based on comments from editors that manage multi OS sites.
>Open source won't work for a consumer device
Isn't Android open source? That the SO is open sourced doesn't mean there won't be a company behind it package it nicely and give it support.
Looks like you don't know anything about WebOS.
It has the MOST active mobile community that exists.
The core of WebOS is coded in HTML and js and the source code is just there, in the device. There is a VERY active community doing mods for the WebOS devices and HP has reached this community already

And it is called PDK.
It is coming out of Beta at the end of May, but in the mean time Gameloft had an early access and is porting ALL their games to WebOS (17 so far) the complete list is at http://www.gameloft.co.uk/download-games/palm-pre-games/?selected_sort=name&alpha_21=all_alpha)

And how will they make a different product from the zillions of Android phones already in the market?
In less than a year a very poor Palm has managed to have 2000 apps in the catalog, I think with HP's money, knowing that they will stay and the easy iPhone ports that the PDK brings, in one year the number of apps wont matter any more,
I do think that HP has big plans for WebOS.
Buying Palm's IP for protect your self only makes sense if you DO PLAN to enter that territory BIG time.
WebOS is even for Palm heaters the "best mobile OS on the marked" Palm was not able to make it a success specially due lack of resources.
Problem solved, Palm gets money and HP gets a way make their products to stand out from the other Android/Windows mobile builders.
Looking forward for a WebOS device with a better hardware!!!
The update is here but we now have even less applications :-( just 60 because they only allow you to see the the ones that SPECIFICALLY set your country, instead of allow you to filter out the ones that you are interested in.
Regards to 3G download, I think that the pre is only sold with unlimited data plans.
Cheers
Java and Flash are free yo download (Java is even GPL now)
BUT the Apple's license terms for the SDK doesn't allow anyone to create a IPhone port for those technologies.
I'm OK for not having java/flash out of the box, but banding people to install it????
