I've been using Bash for Windows at work for a couple of months, and it's mostly been good enough that I don't need to fire up my ubuntu vm anymore.

The biggest problem I've run into lately is that I really want to be able to run GUI-based programs, and even though that does worth with VcXWin, it's kind of crappy, especially for font rendering.

Anyone know of a free (or cheap) x window server for windows that does anti-aliasing?

I wonder if MS finds a way to port open source Linux apps in Windows 10.
Isn't WSL the shotgun approach to answer your question? There's no need to port thousands of useful tools; create the WSL and poof! most of it runs out of the box, natively, in Windows.
