This thread is getting seriously off topic, but I'm
interested so I'm letting it run... :-)

This is news to me. Can you elaborate a little on what
exactly this Linux Subsystem for Windows does? Does it
let me run Linux binaries under Windows? And if so how
do they show up on screen?

This could potentially be very useful for something
I'm currently working on...

PS. I probably should just google it, but since
you appear to have hands on experience...
