That's one low quality video, and to add insult to injury they're posted on Facebook. Here's a better quality video on Channel9: https://channel9.msdn.com/events/Windows/Windows-Developer-D... Same start time of ~17:00 mins in.
This is coming to Windows stable in April: - vt sequences fixed (so stuff like colored output, midnight commander, etc work and the terminal doesn't screw up) - Elixir and Go work - Also Postgres and MySQL - You can launch Windows apps from bash. - inotify works - Visual Studio can compile with GNU/Linux C/C++ tools, gdb, linker etc There's some recent fast ring info on: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2…
> - You can launch Windows apps from bash. So I can basically do `code .` from inside bash and it will open VS Code in the linux sub-system folder? That's amazing!
Not since Windows 2000 have I been so interested in an upgrade to a new Windows release. Only at work do I have to suffer through Windows, but this would make things much nicer there. I hope/pray that readline and/or editline work correctly on bash et al? Do Windows CI services like Appveyor support WSL? If so I would hope that deploying to windows for lots of high level software is relatively painless. Head scratche…
This had nothing specifically to do with Notepad, I would bet they just used it as a simple example.

For a while, it was impossible for windows programs and WSL content to mix (and if you could somwehow do it, it was highly discouraged).
But that's no longer the case. Notepad is just an example to prove this point.

Thanks. Sorry about the bad quality link, I got it from their Twitter account. I'd rather just see it on their own site or YT/Vimeo too.

I've loved the idea of bash-on-windows but it was missing just enough that it wasn't worth it moving away from my current love affair with the "git bash" system I'm using.
With these changes, it looks like I'll be jumping ship when it comes to stable!
Great work to everyone involved!
