Earlier today, during Build 2016 Day 1, we learned that Microsoft was bringing the full Bash shell to Windows.  This won’t be a virtual machine but rather native Ubuntu binaries that are able to be used thanks to a subsystem.

In a new video posted on Microsoft’s Channel 9, the company goes over why and how they are enabling Windows 10 to run native Linux apps and tools directly on Windows thanks to Bash. If you are interested, watch the video embedded below for your viewing pleasure.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
