Bash is coming to Win10 with the Anniversary Update. INCLUDING apt-get.
This is HUGE. This means I can get much of what I use my linux boxen for without needing to dual boot OR run a VM (or carry a live disk around on my keychain). There are so many little bash applets I use frequently that I can't get on Windows--that will change now.
This is particularly cool because I haven't found a really flawless way to boot linux on the Surface Pro without losing a lot of what it does well. Now, I can get a bash cli without even having to reboot from Windows.
Yeah. I'm excited. Nadella's Microsoft is a company I'm starting to like a lot.
