This is just Microsoft trying to hijack POSIX. Interesting, but useless to the larger MacOS/UNIX/Linux community that already has all the tools.
Microsoft is desperately trying to become significant in the OS space again.
The first thing I do with Windows laptop is install Cygwin.
I can hardly remember how to navigate the convoluted Microsoft OSs, and spend all my time on MacOS or ABW (Anything But Windows).

Cygwin is awesome! You can do all sorts of neat things with it that would take twice as long with powershell...
