Windows 10 Build 14251 has mysterious Linux LXCore.sys and LXss.sys files
It seems Microsoft is stealthily embracing Linux!
Microsoft had incorporated Android subsystem in Windows 10 Mobile under its Project Astoria which was reportedly shelved.
The latest discovery suggest that latest Redstone build of Windows 10 desktop will have access to a Linux subsystem.
Windows 10 14251 has lxcore.sys and lxss.sys ?
aren’t they part of Project Astoria ?
and for Mobile only ?
Another reason could be that Microsoft could be incorporating Project Astoria even on Windows 10 desktop.
The second reason sounds more feasible as Microsoft is trying to build a converging technology for all products.
