The Ubuntu/Bash support on Windows does not satisfy any of those 4 requirements. 1. It can't inter-operate with Windows programs as Ray pointed out. 2. It only runs on Windows 10. 3. It only runs on x64. Source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/faq 4. It is not open source yet. Source: https://github.com/Microsoft/CommandLine-Documentation/issues/6 --David
