My understanding is that "Windows 10" everywhere will upgrade to "SP1" and make this available sometime in July, but you may have to do a specific switch-on.
There are a lot of articles online about the preview versions that have been seen, that are available to the Windows Insiders program (which I think anyone can join, but I didn't want to do that) >From what I've seen there are still a few technical questions, especially around the filesystem that's provided (i.e. umask differences, : in filenames, and so on), but on the while it'll be a far better option than cygwin or (for many use-cases) a VM. -jim On Tue, Jun 28, 2016 at 12:39 PM, David Merrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jim > > That's brings in another question.
