Microsoft brings integration not possible in VM. You can actually make Linux tools part of your complex heterogeneous workflow.

Can you tell me more or provide a link where I can read about it? I know that WSL1 indeed provided that level of integration, when you can launch Linux binary from Windows program or vice versa, because they are actually executing on the same Windows kernel, when files are actually on the same NTFS file system. That is truly amazing integration.

How is their WSL2 integration is different from something like shared folders?
