Truly, this is a new Microsoft.

#3They won a text adventure AI competition as well [1][2] and is now running their own with $2000 reward at stake [3]. Getting an agent to solve unseen RPG games like zork or modern games like Zelda and Witcher would be awesome and seriously impressive, but I don't think anybody is even close to that right now.

Indeed, I thought the MS was referring to something else, just based on the title.
Of course they may want to be targeting Linux and MacOS for nefarious purposes, or maybe its a peace offering to make up for skype?

Probably works with Python3 in WSL (let's say Ubuntu). That's good enough for Windows support right? ;)

I dunno, I was thinking about making a bot that could beat Hyperdimension Neptunia...

I have to use Windows at work after ten years of development exclusively on Mac and Linux. Once I set up wsl at work I found that almost all of my gripes about developing on Windows were gone and a month ago I switched my home office to Windows. If you had told me two years ago that I'd be using Windows full time as a Dev environment I would have asked you what were you smoking and can I have some. I have to say though, the first time I started up my "pro" operating system and saw an ad for Candy crush in my start menu I almost bailed.

What program do you use for command line work? I’ve found Powershell and Cmder clunky compared to macOS terminal and any Ubuntu terminal.

PSCore isn't bad so long as you don't load it down with Powershell modules. It only takes two or three beyond the built-ins to make it start crawling.
