[16:30] jrwren: are you frantically reinstalling windows on all your machines now? [16:31] ? [16:31] Ubuntu Release? [16:33] cmaloney: MS just announced that you can run ubuntu userspace in windows [16:33] you hit the start button, type bash, hit enter [16:33] Yeah, that's what I was referring [16:33] reverse WINE basically [16:33] and since we know jrwren is windows fan #1 [16:33] So basically Cygwin [16:34] cygwin is a recompile [16:34] what they do is translate linux syscalls to the windows kernel [16:34] so it's the exact same binary [16:35] Interesting [16:36] indeed [16:36] So what's the catch? :) [16:37] none really [16:37] it's for windows developers that want real linux tools [16:39] jcastro: hell no. [16:39] if this had happend 5 yrs ago, I'd have loved it. Now it is late, and maybe a bit desparate. [16:39] Its amazing that they did it right though. Add elf support to windows, make that syscall translator, and use ubuntu. WOW! [16:48] I think being able to tell old-jrwren style folks "just go to the windows store and install ubuntu" is like ... !!!!! [16:49] +1 [16:49] me from five years ago would have !!!!! and I know a lot of mes from five years ago are still out there. [16:49] yeah [16:49] Still using Visual Studio, and still doing weird things to get cmdline tools on windows [16:50] a star trek plot involving you going back in time to tell yourself this seems more realistic than this announcement, heh [16:50] hahaha! true!
