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.

#23Not 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…

Well, yeah, Windows has been in the dollar milking phase for quite some time now (at least a decade).
It's no longer about delighting the user (yes, even Microsoft used to do that!). Or even just keeping them happy. It's just about keeping them not unhappy enough to switch to the alternatives.

what works right now is exporting DISPLAY to e.g. mobaxterm and running Linux X apps.
i'll admit i'm super duper happy about this, can't wait for $WORK OS upgrade.

#27Now all we need is a first-party X server...
Any particular issues you've got with the existing third-party ones? I don't honestly use them often (I just work on the Windows side for 99%+ of the GUI stuff I need to do), but I've not had any issues with Xming, even on a HiDPI display.
It's been a few months since I tried, but I couldn't get OpenGL stuff to work with an X server. I needed it to run OpenAI's gym platform.

What we need (last time I checked) is cron jobs and persistent services (sshd pls).
