Windows 7 is in extended support, so there's no chance it'll ever get this - it's almost certainly limited to 10, even 8.1 support is highly unlikely.

I would dump Windows, but gaming.
That, Paint.Net, and Sony Vegas keep my two main PCs running Windows primarily.
The only other Windows machine is an old laptop, running Windows 2000 for the keks.
Other than that, I live by Linux.

Just switch to Linux already! :D

Unfortunately, Bash on Ubuntu on Windows will not be available for Windows 7.

Linux Subsystem on Windows requires windows kernel support for some linux/unix specific features.
Windows 10 kernel have them but not Windows 7 kernel. I think it's impossible to make it work properly on Windows 7.

So sad about it! I really miss Bash =/

The closest thing to WSL is coLinux, but it supports 32-bit Windows hosts only. Apparently, x64 support isn't coming anytime soon, so the for now best choice is Cygwin.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is based on:

Install Git Bash.
Whilst it isn't as nice as the Bash subsystem on Windows 10, it's good enough for my needs.

I don't think it is possible. Microsoft may have used some of the Hyper-V technologies they uses to protect user space (explorer.exe, office) from critical process (like lsass.exe who contains clear text passwords).
To keep it simple there is very optimized solutions that runs on top of windows 10.
Those say, thats why they can now look to bring us GNU software's into user environments (developers only). They are not running bash on a virtual machine, but malicious behaviors are contained.
If you want to know more, the architecture presentation pre-release are a good start.

Ahh, so that is what PsRegisterPicoProvider is used for.

Also checkout Babun

I use cgywin and there is msys2 which seems to be a merger of cygwin and msys2. Hope it also gives a good opportunity on my Windows 7. Windows 10 , not sure if I will ever use it.

@msftdata Git-Bash is included in Git for Windows, right ?
