It's quite strange to me that Microsoft is creating a "reverse Wine" type solution. By being able to SSH into a Windows machine to a Bash prompt is essentially no different than logging into a Linux box but to what end? Run all the GNU tools but with a Windows kernel? How odd. Sure, you'll also be able to run various command line Windows programs but or Powershell scripts but there isn't any mechanism to run a GUI applications and see the display like how Xwindows works. Sure, they have Rdesktop but that's a completely different thing (replaces the direct SSH login, etc) and that's been around for a long time.

Maybe this is a "better Linux experience via Microsoft support" type play but I don't know why Canonical would support this. I don't see how it benefits their long term business model.
