New Windows apps and games
Ubuntu on Windows Community Preview
Ubuntu on Windows Community Preview is a special version of Ubuntu for the Windows Subsystem for Linux. The main purpose of the version is to act as a sandbox for testing new features and for getting feedback from the community.
It is intended for early adopters and the team plans to run A/B tests regularly to test new features.
