Amen to that.  (The rest of your message was interesting too.)

I was reading an article about people porting Linux desktops to
Windows as a complement to the ubuntu userland that Microsoft will
support this summer.

	Since Ubuntu on WSL automatically runs as root, you don't need
	to add sudo to the command for it to run.

(WSL is Windows Subsystem for Linux, the thing Microsoft provides to
support Ubuntu userland.)

That's pretty scary.

Microsoft still doesn't get Linux.
