This is not an April fools day joke. *Microsoft and Canonical partner to bring Ubuntu to Windows 10* http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-and-canonical-partner-to-bring-ubuntu... According to sources at Canonical, Ubuntu Linux's parent company, and Microsoft, you'll soon be able to run Ubuntu on Windows 10. This will be more than just running the Bash shell on Windows 10 <http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-show-bash-on-linux-running-on-windows-10/>. After all, thanks to programs such as Cygwin <https://www.cygwin.com/> or MSYS utilities <http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys>, hardcore Unix users have long been able to run the popular Bash command line interface <https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/272346-bash-101-working-at-the-cli>(CLI) on Windows. With this new addition, Ubuntu users will be able to run Ubuntu simultaneously with Windows. This will not be in a virtual machine, but as an integrated part of Windows 10.
