Agreed. :)

Once you experience the freedom of an OS like Ubuntu, it's hard to go back. And once you get your head around things, there is very little reason to. :)

Nice work.

More complicated and unlike Ubuntu, it isn't free. Glad Linux was picked for this. It doesn't require buying (or stealing) a proprietary OS for it to work for everyone.

Yes, but I guess it would be viable for someone that actually has a valid Windows license + ISO for development...

Also, I think Microsoft does have some development-and-testing license models, but it might very well mean you have to get a personal license / contact Microsoft to get, which is quite a threshold.

Oh well, I'm quite OK with the status quo - it will move developers to open source platforms, which I love :)

Theoretically there's Nuget, which is like a package manager for
Visual Studio, and there should be a way to download and run
installers from PowerShell. But I agree, this is far more complicated.
