BASH into Windows 10.


                  Microsoft released its operating system Windows 10 recently and there has been millions of downloads and of course Microsoft made many to download Windows 10 to their systems. Recently there has been a news that Microsoft is going to support BASH into Windows 10.

                   Microsoft also has a command line utility named "Command prompt (cmd.exe)" and also power users / administrators uses "Powershell". They serves many awesome services to the users and on the opposite side Ubuntu has #BASH (#Bourne Again SHell).

                   BASH beats both cmd and powershell in many ways as it can do magic if properly used in Ubuntu flavours. Almost all Linux build has BASH inbuilt and there has been many commands used normally but has greater impact.

                    There is an official statement that Microsoft is going to support BASH in new Windows 10. Of course now also the users can run BASH by installing any third party applications such as Cygwin but now it is officially supported by Microsoft.

                    It is not Virtual machine that runs on Windows or Linux just BASH is supported. Users can download it from Windows store and use it. Microsoft is working with Ubuntu parent company Canonical for this new support.

                   The feature is yet to be released and if released will contain all features such as sudo, apt, get, wget, perl, python and many more BASH commands. If not wrong shell scripting can also be executed with bash support.

P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
