According to this, Wine now runs on Windows Subsystem for Linux.

In build 15025, wine64-development runs directly on the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

This will be applauded as a great accomplishment for those who need to run Windows executables.

No word on whether Cygwin will run on Wine running on Windows Subsystem for Linux. Also of interest would be to get Wine to be able to run Windows Subsystem for Linux on Wine.

    You don't happen to have a second computer or something to do that with?

    Back in my day, if the Ram broke free of the lantastic cable, we had to lasso it back with 3.5mm headphone cables (once occasionally useful for Appletalk but now sadly incompatible with modern Apple products) or capture it with an ethernet ourselves of our own creation.

      Artisoft had no compatibility with token ring, and so we could not draw it back with the allure of expensive shiny objects.
