Microsoft is working with Canonical to bring Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS to Windows
10 later this summer.  They've removed the Linux kernel and built syscall
interpreters into the Windows kernel so Linux can run natively on Windows
without the need for a VM.  There's an astonishing demo video here, along
with more info.
