What todays big announcement on running Linux binary natively on Windows means:
It's not a Virtual Machine.
It's not like docker container.
Neither is it Cygwin like native compile.
Basically, and I quote it...
A team of sharp developers at Microsoft has been hard at work adapting some Microsoft research technology to basically perform real time translation of Linux syscalls into Windows OS syscalls. Ubuntu binaries running natively in Windows. Microsoft calls it their Windows Subsystem for Linux.
The sysbench utility is showing nearly equivalent cpu, memory, and io performance."
All of your Windows drives, like C: are mounted read/write directly under /mnt.
And, vice versa, you can see all of your Ubuntu filesystem from Windows Explorer in C:\Users\Kirkland\AppData\Local\Lxss\rootfs\
No need for Putty! Just ssh directly from within the Ubuntu shell.
And apt install and upgrade works as expected.

Good step ahead by MS. A few more of these and I might consider switching to Windows again after some long years.
