In the past we've had to use Virtualbox which has led to performance issues and less than optimal development workflows. This is great news for developers at councils and other public sector bodies in the UK, as they usually have Windows machines and are not allowed to run Linux natively. The integration between the two environments means that you can even run an X11 server and have GUI Linux apps running in Windows. Instead you boot into Windows 10, open a terminal and you have a full Ubuntu (or distro of your choice) environment to do your development work in. This means that it is now possible to have the benefits of both Windows 10 and Linux without dual booting.
The solution they came up with was to provide a full Linux environment and kernel with (almost) seamless integration with development tools alongside the Windows 10 operating system. In the past couple of years Microsoft has made some very intelligent decisions around their support and use of open source software and in particular coming up with a solution to modern web development on the Windows 10 platform.
