"Our understanding is that these are not recompiled or ported versions
of the programs (as are used in tools aiming to provide a Unix-like
environment on Windows such as Cygwin) but instead unmodified programs.
Microsoft is describing this in terms of providing a Linux-like
command-line environment at the moment, but from what we can gather,
there's little fundamental restriction to this, potentially opening the
door to running a wide range of Linux programs natively on Windows."
