Note: This is mainly for Windows 10 developers and users who just HAVE to be on the bleeding edge of Win10.
For the rest of Windows users, this is probably of limited (or less) interest. You'll see the results of this later in the formal consumer/business releases.

Ubuntu support? Interesting .... Extremely. Win10 allows you to run the Bash shell, PowerShell has OpenSSH support, there's all sorts of cool interoperability going on.
My personal opinion is that Microsoft at LONG last realized that they don't own the entire world, and they better start cooperating with those who own the rest of it, or else they will lose the part they still have a grip on. Especially in the cloud, where they got their asses handed to them by Linux-based cloud providers.
Did you know that the Windows Update servers are (or at least, were until recently) hosted on Akamai's farm, which is Linux? Microsoft switched them over a few years back, when a large Windows Update demand crashed their Windows Server based farm. Akamai provided more robust Linux-based hosting and (as far as I know) Microsoft still uses them for WinUpdate and similar large-load tasks. Many of us got a good chuckle out of that, since (as I vaguely recall) it happened under Ballmer.

I gotta tell ya, what our team has had trouble with is anomalies detected in the axionic deflector generators. Our best option in development has been to try iconic subinterlink with the bioregenerative dynoscanner and transporter nodes with electronic sub-transponders.
But what do I know?

They make better use of dilithium crystals too...

Guess that goes without saying though.

Then there are us Linux folks who don’t have to worry about any of that bloatware.

Windows 10 has got to be one of the worst OS releases in decades. As a software engineer, it has cause a lot of problem on a lot of machines. I wonder what they’ll break in the next release....

My beeber is stuned by your brilliant analysis.

You clearly have your finger on the pulse.

I get a kick out of the fact that they're trumpeting as "great new features" some things that ought to be standard (and in a few cases, used to be standard).
At least they admit openly that Win10 is a constant work-in-progress / moving target rather than a defined product. I'm still trying to get Edge to do things that Internet Explorer did years ago... never mind FireFox...

Yep, saved you (and likely some others) from having to write, "What the heck do I need to know this for???" :-)

I was just doing some updates on my W95 desktop, when it overheated and went blank. I suspect the dilithium crystals have completely fused. The bad news is, my parts department has no spares!
