It's not April 1st yet is it? Because this [1] makes it look like Windows will also support apt-get (after you turn all this on via a developer setting). Which would be pretty awesome, and mean we could replace all our Windows-installation hoop jumping with “enable this setting and apt-get install these packages…”. I'm not sure how that would happen though. Have Canonical/Microsoft ported all of those applications to also run on a Windows kernel? Are they using something like Cygwin's shim layer to put a POSIX interface on top of Window's kernel?
