BUILD2016 Microsoft is bringing the Linux Bash shell command line to Windows 10, running as a native Ubuntu binary on a Windows subsystem.

Developer director Kevin Gallo demonstrated the shell at the opening keynote of Build 2016, Microsoft's developer conference in San Francisco. The primary goal, said Gallo, is to enable developers to use Linux tools and utilities when working on Windows.

It is "basically real-time translation of Linux syscalls into Windows OS syscalls" said Ubuntu's Dustin Kirkland, adding that this is "an almost surreal endorsement by Microsoft on the importance of open source to developers."

It is not only the Bash shell, of course, but also Linux non-GUI utilities and applications that run.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
