Microsoft headhunters seek Linux folk for secret open source unit
This may be to do with the new feature Microsoft is implementing in
Windows 10. The ability to invoke a Bash Shell from the start menu
inside which you can run Ubuntu. This is the method they have
developed with their partners Canonical to enable Linux to be run
natively inside Windows.
Iirc they started the hiring because they need them for some
Azure-stuff. For Azure they have their own distro for SDN and I guess
they want to start to use Linux for more stuff in their backend.
Well, this pretty much opens up linux to viruses, since windows is so
easily
infected - and thus the windows viruses will be able to infect
windows' guest
as well.
Already people (friends) with windows 10 are coming to me and saying
their
laptops have frozen.
How does that open up Linux to more viruses? You mean that crackers will
suddenly start to use exploiting bugs in Linux-software to break into
windows-boxes because a tiny amount of users will install this (after
all only command line software runs with the Linux-integration)?You mean

If linux is the guest on windows, there is no guarantee
that the virus will not be able to infect the machine emulator.
and whatever is running on top of emulator.
