Windows Subsystem for POSIX was already tried. It didn't take off.

It was a hack to get around a US regulation about government procurement requiring POSIX support. So I think tried is a very strong word, it was never intended to be remotely useful.

Isn't the only reason that it didn't take off because it was so incomplete?
