Comment WSL is creepy (Score 1) 124

I toyed around with WLinux around its release last month. As I was messing around with it, I couldn't shut off the Richard Stallman in my brain yelling at me about Microsoft's "Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish" business model and the importance of open source.
Honestly the fact that you must WLinux through the Windows Store should've been enough of a red flag, but it was half price at the time.

As an aside- someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell Win16 execution using WINE requires 32 bit WINE binaries, which isn't possible on WSL which supports 64 bit only.
