| 1418407 | 2016-03-31 01:57:00 | What's this mean? :confused: Microsoft and Canonical partner to bring Ubuntu to Windows 10 --- You'll soon be able to run Ubuntu on Windows 10. (www.zdnet.com) In English. At the moment you have to either Dual boot Windows & Ubuntu, or Run Ubuntu in a virtual Machine if you want both. With the new features you'll be able to run it side by side just like any other program, no VM's or third party programs required. The title is a bit misleading though, if you read the article: Could you run a Linux desktop such as Unity, GNOME, or KDE on it? Probably, but that's not the purpose of this partnership. Canonical and Microsoft are doing this because Ubuntu on Windows' target audience is developers, not desktop users. At the start of the video, its interesting -- as they mention the New version of W10 (redstone) which us people using the insider builds already have :) Will be available free to current W10 Users, so if a person was waiting to change to W10, they had better do it for free before the end of July, other wise its going to cost them after that date. |

With this new addition, Ubuntu users will be able to run Ubuntu simultaneously with Windows. This will not be in a virtual machine, but as an integrated part of Windows 10." Seems fairly clear. Why you would want to is the question. |

| 1418409 | 2016-03-31 02:12:00 | That's kinda what I thought. I wondered before - and didn't express it correctly - that I wondered if an Ubuntu/Linux distro could be run alongside Windows and I could toggle back and forth between the two. This seems to be the answer to the question that I couldn't ask correctly. |
