[dba-Tech] Bash shell

[John R Bartow]

The problem lies in the way MS implemented Linux. I think many of originally
thought it was just a VM inside Windows or maybe a subset of Linux commands
built in to Windows. It's basically cohabitating the same space and has full
access to the hardware and windows file structure. And the Linux does not
respect the security models that Windows does so a hacker could get into
Linux and enable a blacklisted app to run in Windows! It's pretty bad.

I think they're headed the way you imagine. Windows will be a GUI Shell for
Linux core. And after that the Mac diehards will accuse MS of copying them
;-)

Hi John:

You have got to love it. The Linux security model runs entirely different
that than of Microsoft. Linux is by far, more secure. You would think if the
two combined it would be a big plus for the MS OS and both would become
better. Apparently not.

To my way of thinking, Microsoft has no alternative but to swap their root
OS for Linux. They would then have to strongest back-end and the prettiest
front-end. Apparently, just glueing on a Linux FE is a disaster...should we
have been surprised?

OTOH, I will continue to bolt on a useful Bash shell to all my Windows10
desktops until an update from the Mothership either fixes it or Borks it
all. ;-)

Linux in Windows 10 has created a big security problem for Windows.
Apparently it was a poorly done implementation and leaves a number of
security feature built-in to Windows vulnerable from the Linux side.

Hi All:

If you have not already done so, here is a tutorial on how to install the
Bash shell on you Windows 10.
