The Windows 10 Anniversary update is coming soon, and with it is a really nice feature for Linux fans that are forced to work on Windows. Check out the article for some more details over previous articles posted here. It shows installing some packages directly from the Ubuntu repo. Also, for those that saw the screenshot of this feature before and commented that the bash shell was showing a root prompt, you can see that is no longer the case here.

Any self respecting soul would run Windows 10 in a virtual machine under Linux, where it could be contained for safety purposes.

My hope would be that someday microsoft would realize how insanely primitive their update system is and switch to something more like yum or apt. It is downright painful to update a windows computer compared to just about any linux distro these day
