Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish

Was thinking about this earlier, saw some article about how Microsoft is trying to get Windows 10 to run Linux GUI apps.

But also Spotify! There's a strain of thought out there that the podcast ecosystem is resistant to centralization, but Spotify is making a serious go at proving this wrong.

I thought that exact same thing when I saw that article yesterday.

Interestingly Linux has its own corporate champion: Redhat/Poettering. Currently they're the villain in most Linux circles, but it'll be interesting to see them and MS square off, as they inevitably will.

Windows 10 can already run GUI apps using WSL and an X server. Microsoft is planning to build a native X server so it's frustration free. Personally, I cannot wait.
