To be fair to op I did expect this to be a link to something that allowed Windows to run on Android as well. In software 'for X' commonly refers to what it runs on. 'Doom for Windows' would run on Windows. A Windows subsystem for Android immediately implies a Windows subsystem that runs on Android. It's a very common usage and language is formed by the common usage. Microsoft have this backwards. |

Product names aren't formed by common usage, they're defined by the company which creates them.
