This is actually a GOOD idea. Why? Because it may allow for management of Linux servers from a Windows console seamlessly.

This will be handy for dual boot users. To access Linux files from Windows otherwise requires a program such as extFS for Windows.

the introduction of Microsoft News Bar. This new customizable news app sits neatly to the side of the screen and updates throughout the day (and it can be minimized with a click if it proves too distracting).

...

Less “news” makes for a happier life.

Personally I only have Win 10 on one laptop that I dual boot with Linux. Even though I really don't use the laptop for anything right now and therefore don't "care" about it... I'm not sure I'd let a MS OS/product write directly into my Linux file system just yet, if ever. My Linux machines have been rock solid for years. My windows stuff (work laptops) - not so much.

Linux boots very quickly, and I'll give credit where credit is due, Win10 boots nearly as fast on that laptop. It isn't a big deal to switch back and forth. Of course I don't remember the last time I needed to run Win10. I mostly just boot it up once a month or so to grab updates in case something comes up and I need it.

More fake news bloatware.

Hopefully, this fake news feature can be uninstalled....COMPLETELY.

There has been a windows file system driver for EXT2, 3 and 4 that allowed access to those files systems .... for years.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/

Microsoft is late coming to the party.
