What Can BASH on Windows Do?
-
I got my hopes up for BASH on Windows.

-
Maybe PowerShell will be available on Linux soon....
-
True BASH on Windows would be like the day we were provided Internet radio. That was a pretty good day.
-
I wonder if this is just some huge marketing ploy... Appearing to be more flexible, try and poach some developers. Seems like it is all smoke and mirrors though. I was skeptical that it would end up just being a terrible project, I wonder if that is what we're seeing.
Microsoft to disgruntled, mislead person over the phone: "Oh no, you CAN use BASH on Windows... I mean not technically.... Well yeah, it's terrible to use.... No, I understand it's terrible.... Yeah, we lead you on.... No, you can go f*** YOURself.... and good day to you, sir."

That's what it looks like. They've stated that it is all about getting developers and nothing else, which is fine. But they or someone did some marketing around it that was very, very much "Windows can run Ubuntu now" which is not in alignment with their stated goals.

No packages for RPM or DEB, sadly.

I love it when people port garbage to other platforms
