Great in theory not so great in reality. I really doubt bash on Windows is going to be all that great and that Linux support is going to be that great either. Microsoft is going to half-ass it because that's not their core competency and it never will be. It's just a shady business tactic to try to win users that are no longer interested in their platform.

> Great in theory not so great in reality.

OK. How exactly? Any details? Tried it?

Your comment is light on facts, heavy on opinion.

Gee, I thought building software for Windows was Microsoft's core competency.

> It's just a shady business tactic...

I suppose then that you must also think that Wine is just some shady "Open Source tactic" to try and get Windows users on Linux?

Maybe you prefer your half-assed software to come from Apple or from the general crowd of Open Source developers. That you have seething hatred for Microsoft is obvious though. Did they kill your pappy?

Haven't tried it out yet but does it handle `grep "string" *txt -r` like it should ? Last time I checked it didn't get recursivity.
