It's here!
Now, Windows users can finally run Linux on their computers, without having to dual-boot their systems.
Linux users have Wine to run Windows within Linux, but the other way round did not exist, until now.
As someone who has been using Linux (on and off, sometimes exclusively, sometimes dual-booting with Windows), I must say I am really excited about this new feature. I don't think this will replace a standalone, full Linux install, but it does help when one has to work mainly in Windows, but once in a while pop into Linux to do some work.

Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
And here is how to get Linux running in GUI mode:
How to run GUI Ubuntu Linux in Windows 10
