Microsoft: Windows Phone is not the place to do “new and exciting things”
Really, no kidding. Microsoft did not have to give up on Windows Phone users, users did that already!
Here's how Microsoft will support Bash on Windows 10
Microsoft now lets you turn any Xbox One into a development kitIn case anyone had any doubts, this is not "Microsoft Linux." Nor is this Microsoft enabling Linux apps to run on top of Windows.
Microsoft is characterizing the move to put Bash on Windows 10 as an expansion of its command-line tool family, rather than a replacement for the work the company has doing in-house.
Bash will be built into the Windows 10 Anniversary update, which is the new name for Redstone 1, and due this summer.
After installing the Xbox dev mode on the Xbox One, you can register your console as a development kit. Then, you can just launch the “dev mode” app to turn your Xbox into a dev kit. It’s a good way to preview Universal Windows Platform apps, as well.
This is an important step for Microsoft, as the company has had a few issues with its policies with independent developers. The Xbox 360 was a major platform for indie developers, with breakthrough successes like Super Meat Boy, Fez and Braid getting released on the Xbox 360 and PC first. But things changed quite a bit with the Xbox One.
