You mean the metric hog that can only be turned off with a recompile? No, thanks.

Wsl, the barely usable product with breaking bugs, such as simple disk io, until wsl2 came to improve _some_ of the features? Nah.

The most detrimental change to IT, containers, still depends on hyper-v for networking in the latest version and can only build for the same kernel.

Cheap PR for garbage products to try and push PC monopoly.

They have been extremely successful with VSCode. I keep using emacs but nearly everybody I work with switched to VSCode. It even happened that a guy told me on a call "why doesn't your VSCode show [something]?" "Because emacs can show that but I don't care so I didn't install the package."

And yes, the people using Windows and deploying to Linux use WSL2 now instead of WSL. They used to run a Linux VM or dual boot. Another success for Microsoft. WSL2 can also run GUI applications. They'll end up controlling the Linux desktop.
