So, just like if you mounted a disk in Linux, except the names suck. I imagine you can go into fstab or equivalent to change the mount directory, but I haven't tried it, so this is an assumption. Long story short, it feels like Linux, and you have access to all mounted file systems and drive, including I believe network shares that are mounted.

In that case Shuttleworth must be the most incompetent businessman in the history of commerce.
FYI: Canonical hasn't ever run a reasonable profit. There is nothing to cash out on.

My guess it that MS wants to save money in the future and partly to get some Linux admins back to Windows. Previously they made their own userspace tools as UNIX subsystem but without POSIX layer (that existed in NT but without network). Maybe they reused that code and added the rest to make console tools happy. Now they can use the userspace from Ubuntu or whatever. Would be cool to benchmark Samba vs native SMB shares...

I'm not laughing that they might/could/would do it, I'm laughing because I would *never* use it on linux out of principle (and I like PS).
