Basically you will have bash shell on Windows, be able to run Linux programs on WIndows (like WINE in reverse) and use all the developer tools and libraries from Ubuntu.

Basically Microsoft wants to stop developers from switching to a full fledged Linux system and Canonical fell for it. There is already a strong criticism towards Canonical about this:

Why Canonical?

[theo]

Because RedHat has hit 2Billion $ and does not need Microsoft to survive. Canonical on the other hand is still on loss and they figured that some revenue won't hurt. Even if its from Microsoft. But I can see a lot of Ubunteros switching to Debian.

The whole situations makes look like a cruel joke...
