Microsoft Open Sources Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

At its Build developer conference, Microsoft announced it's open-sourcing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), enabling developers to seamlessly run Linux distributions within Windows. This move aims to solidify Windows as a premier development environment, offering enhanced Linux compatibility. WSL, having evolved from emulation to the native Linux kernel in WSL 2, now boasts significantly improved performance and compatibility. Open-sourcing allows developers to contribute code, further refining WSL's functionality and performance.
