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