[Wolves] ubuntu on windows

[Mark Croft Redditch Linux Mint]

yeah i would like to know a bit more about how the two os live side by
side? in the article it described like the reverse of wine is that
true? (all API calls go via the window system) ?

what is M$ vision for this? will there be OSX vesion soon maybe? it
seems more of developers really from what i can see. Maybe the
holyland of having one single source code being able to compile on 99%
of platforms is coming soon? Would be nice if the target os was some
form of linux. It seems like the browsers are taking on this challange
, typing this on acer chromebook which is amazing does 99% of what i
want and ssh into my raspberry pi or linux box when i want to do
something on the command line.

i shud b learning python a bit more and making something interesting on my pi.
at last found a raspberry pi group in redditch.
