This has been my long time dream. There's so little that prevents this from happening theoretically (obviously there's a lot of coding will be done, but hey that's the fun part). I am very glad Microsoft is taking all the right steps to bring two world closer: Linux and Windows.

With all the announcements around stuff like Docker for Windows Server Containers and cross platform .NET, this was nearly inevitable. Now the server management also steers in the right direction.
