Hi David, We must be reading different blogs and watching completely different videos or something, as your comments make no sense with respect to the Ubuntu Bash Subsystem.
The Microsoft development team have been very clear, this package is intended for developers wanting GNU command-line-tools managed through the MS install / update system. They (Microsoft) have also been very clear about X-Windows *not being* included / supported. The package / environment is not designed for UI applications at all. As for SSH, the user spaces are completely isolated from one another. The Ubuntu Bash Subsystem has no idea that it is running on a Windows machine, a simple ELF check will show that clearly. Therefore, inbound SSH makes no sense, not to mention, they (Microsoft) have clearly stated the subsystem is not a server image, it is a user space image. I don't see where Rdesktop, RDP or any of the remote applications make any sense here. As for Mark Shuttleworths decision to do this, well, you'd have to ask him, but I can think of many advantages for Canonical to make such a move. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 4/8/2016 13:34, David Ranch wrote: > > <Off Topic> > > It's quite strange to me that Microsoft is creating a "reverse Wine" > type solution.
