It sounded like the best Microsoft windows news for a long time: The Verge reported that bash is coming to Windows. Yes, the bourne again shell becomes native on Redmond's turf.
Hard to believe as it was, the news item was talking of bash itself, not another third-party alternative making Windows more friendly and useful for linux folk (and I mean no disrespect for the wonderful solutions out there, cygwin being my favorite here).
Starting to check things out, I was glad to see that this exciting news piece was supported by a Microsoft news release confirming this new step for windows.
It was further detailed by a MSDN blog post. I've got to admit that reading that last blog post, things lost some of their initial buzz, and actually started to seem a little funny. some promises too vague, some premises downright strange.
But excitement made me miss the punch for a few more minutes of imaginative day-dreaming...
before I realized what day it is today....
