But it is not a "Linux Subsystem", it is a "Windows Subsystem".
If I write a hypothetical Driver for Linux to support windows, it would be a "Linux Module" not a "Windows Module".
I guess they could have called it "Windows Subsystem for Linux support"
And is that subsystem for windows or for Linux?
Like...how do you find the zoom release for Linux? I thinks it's very stable and now and very comparable to the version available for widows.
