Windows binaries can now be invoked directly from the Windows Subsystem for Linux command line. This gives users the ability to interact with their Windows environment and system in a way that has not been possible. As a quick example, it is now possible for users to run the following commands:
```
$ export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Windows/System32
$ notepad.exe
$ ipconfig.exe | grep IPv4 | cut -d: -f2
$ ls -la | findstr.exe foo.txt
$ cmd.exe /c dir
```
Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) is now installed for all new WSL instances.

This is basically the same trash as Microsoft java was 15 years ago.
