    Linux subsystem for windows… Making it easier to stay off Linux, adding similar elements to Linux to appeal to Linux users.

    It’s 100% per of EEE, subtle as not to make users like you freak out.
    MS won’t do anything that doesn’t help them make more money / more users

      Linux subsystem for windows

      If you wanted to talk about EEE regarding Linux subsystem for Windows, you probably should specify that. I share your misgivings about WSL, but this thread is about sudo for Windows which is another thing entirely.

      Making it easier to stay off Linux, adding similar elements to Linux to appeal to Linux users.

      I have a hard time imagining Linux users switching to Windows because of a feature Linux has had since its inception. Of course MS won’t do anything that doesn’t increase their profits, that’s what corporations do. Implementing “new” features is a way of attracting more users, sure, but I still fail to see any way in which sudo for Windows fits the EEE scheme. “Embrace, extend, extinguish” refers to specific predatory business practices, it’s not shorthand for “everything I dislike about capitalism and the tech industry” and using it as such kinda dilutes its original meaning.
