Maybe. Right now bash under Windows can only do stuff inside Linux (outside of

commands/applications from bash, which is pretty limiting. Most anything folks
do currently in PowerShell wouldn't be achievable in bash until that barrier
is crossed.
So is there any advantage to this over Cygwin/X ?
I haven't used it yet, but my understanding is that right now it's fairly
limited (like the early wine, they haven't implemented that many system calls
yet), but the advantage is that it isn't a separate environment and lets you run
unmodified Linux programs.
