@sry9681 you have to enable developer mode on windows 10 and enable it at windows features

@sry9681
Enable dev mode on Windows 10
Go to add and remove features and click the windows subsystem for Linux
Type bash in cmd/powershell

The only comment I have so far is that, Apache and IIS cannot share port 80.
But still, not bad if you need to test stuff in Ubuntu.

@bakablah
Nothing can share ports, that's not a fault of Ubuntu on Windows

@Scrumplex this problem can be removed by using a file named compat wireless

Its released now. I don't have dev moved and I have it installed. Maybe it was in one of those updates people always complain about ;)

Gotta say I'm not a fan of it. Cygwin integrates better with Windows than this "official" solution :/

@kong cygwin emulates a posix environment. Windows subsystem for Linux implements posix on the Windows kernel and install the ubuntu userspace.

@ponchoalv Yeah I know the difference.

Maybe it's just me -- with Ubuntu on Windows bash I feel like I am working on two different OSes. But with Cygwin bash I feel like it's actually a part of Windows.
