Windows Shell for Linux (Kernel).

I've been wanting this for years. With .Net Core, PowerShell for Linux, MS SQL for Linux, and WSL, I feel like (hope) that that is where they are headed, and if so, it's going to be awesome. A Linux OS with Windows on top and full compatibility for DirectX, games, Office, etc.

Ugh, one can dream...

The NT kernel has better hardware support than the Linux kernel (among other advantages), and the design of NT means that you can run Linux apps on the NT kernel without going through the Win32 APIs with WSL. Why do you need to rebase the system on the Linux kernel?

For funsies.

Don't think Microsoft would go that far for funsies.
