    USA still the best. But barely.
    So it's nix as an app, pffft.

    Hell will freeze over when M$ releases MicroSoftNix and announces a W10 EOL date.

    Yup.

    Solves one problem for users of Windows S which is locked down to the Edge browser. Install Ubuntu and you can run any browser you want inside the virtual environment.

    Right now, its only Ubuntu but Fedora and openSUSE will land in the fall in the Windows Store.

    Look for Mrk to write a review on it very soon.
