WSL essentially translates commands meant for the Linux kernel-the core part of the operating system that talks to hardware-into commands for the Windows kernel. Thanks to a feature called Windows Subsystem for Linux, you can already run Linux applications in Windows. Now Microsoft is bringing the heart of Linux into Windows. Then it began releasing software for Android and Linux and even using Linux internally to power Azure.
First it began supporting Linux on its cloud service Azure. That forced a change in how Microsoft treated the rival operating system. Linux now powers the majority of the world's web servers and underpins Android, the world’s most popular mobile operating system. But over the years, open source, and Linux in particular, went mainstream.
Linux was developed by a ragtag team of programmers scattered around the world, often working in their spare time. Windows was developed by the biggest software company in the world, one that was no friend to open source. For decades, Microsoft Windows and the open source Linux operating system were polar opposites.
