Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
I just opened up a command prompt on Windows 10, typed in bash, and watched as Ubuntu was installed on my computer.
I never, in 1 million years, thought that I would ever live to see the day that this happened. With each passing announcement, upgrade, release, and blog post Microsoft is proving itself to be an innovative company once again. I have never been more excited about Windows than I am right now.
- This completely changes most of the things I said in this post.
- I have been saying for a while that I predict that the next version of Windows Server will basically be a Linux Distro. I think we are one step closer to making this a reality, and I think that this changes everything.
- I am so excited to see what will happen in the future with this partnership.
