Windows 10 Creators Update preview: Lovin’ for Edge and pen users, nowt much else
What about the rest of us?

Microsoft has released a new preview of Windows 10′s Fall Creators Update, showing off elements of its new Fluent Design System and introducing a host of features.

At the Build developer event last month, the company announced the Fluent Design System as a move away from the flat design language which characterised the “Metro” approach of Windows 8 and carried forward into the Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform (UWP). Now there’s depth, lighting and motion effects, translucent backgrounds and, of course, smooth scaling across different screen sizes.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux is still in beta, but no longer requires Developer Mode if you want to enable it. More significant is that Microsoft promises to enable multiple distributions “very soon”, which will enable use of SUSE and Fedora alongside the existing Ubuntu option, and to run them side by side.

This new preview shows that Microsoft is executing on the promise of regular new features in Windows, part of its “Windows-as-a-service” concept. How many of these features will matter to most users is another question

No, this is NOT a port, this is a cooperative kernel designed to run along another kernel. The coLinux kernel is a stock linux kernel configured for cooperation, and accesses to the host resources through a Windows driver. The driver also makes sure there is no race condition between the two kernels. Otherwise, everything including the kernel code is perfectly stock.
