On their blog they state that raw sockets (ping), ip address / ip route will work.

Still some work there though. Traceroute errors with: setsockopt IP_MTU_DISCOVER: Protocol not available

Yeah, to be clear here: We worked with the networking team to enable Linux Ping to open a raw socket, but we've not enabled carte blanche raw-socket support for all Linux processes.
We are, however, continuing to work on solving these and several other networking issues to close the gap in our networking support.
As a work-around, you could always call Windows' tracert.exe via the interop feature ;)
An if you're just using standard sockets technologies (e.g. HTTP, TLS, FTP, SSH, etc.) all should be good.

Any chance we'll see a first-party X11 server at some point? XMing, VCXsrv, and Cygwin/X all have some warts when it comes to stuff like windows previewing, copy/paste, acceleration, and fonts. OS X has shipped with an optional X11 server forever, and it would be great to see that feature parity in Windows.
