Never in my lifetime did I expect to see this. Microsoft asked Canonical
(builders of Ubuntu Linux) to create the Bash shell inside of
Windows. Not an emulator! It is actually Linux inside of Windows!
Most people don't know (or forgot) that the Apple MacIntosh was at
its nadir when the company decided to completely scrap their
proprietary operating system and rebuild it based upon BSD unix OS (Berkeley Software
Distribution). The success of the Mac/iPod/iPhone/iPad are all
due in large part to the decision to switch to a Unix variant. It
was a big shock to developers who had to start all over with the new
OS, which they branded as OS X.
Microsoft is doing more than simply putting their toe in the unix
water - they are shopping for bathing suits. The Gates have opened
(pun intended).
