If you want Windows to be Linux users' home, then how isn't it swallowing them and dragging them from an open source environment to a closed source one?

More questions: Will it be backported to Windows 8.1? How does it differ from CoLinux and andLinux?

because no one is forcing linux users to do anything. can you really not see the difference between giving an option to developers and "dragging linux users"

I'd rather have a home I have control over, or even trust in.

I'm not commenting on the "good or badness" of this move - it's a brilliant power play from MSFT
