Then what's the point of WSL? To allow server software development on a Windows desktop? OK. But then what's the point of trying to bring DX graphics to linux?

Even if that's true you really don't want to run a Windows box as a build server - licensing and security and all that.


I have a CentOS DVD to offer you.
