See the following videos by Scott Hanselman. They walk through a lot of things and a pretty functional end result.

I've been trying to use it seriously for a bit....and while a lot is improved... so many of the features are half baked and awkward to use. It's definitely no tmux. It could be a lot better, but a lot of improvements are on the back burner and unlikely to be implemented for a long time. I tend to just use multiple old (but recently enhanced) terminal windows
It's not supposed to be TMUX. It's more like xterm or iTerm2. You can run tmux inside of it.

There's a great guide on how to set up tmux on WSL here: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-linux-dev-environment-on-wi...
Just noticed with this release, tmux mouse support is working now! You can scroll back, change tmux windows and panes using the mouse only. Kickass.

This is awesome. :)
