So the ability to run Linux GUI apps using Direct X, and thus those apps will only ever be able run on WSL?

A combination of *nix base system/terminal handling and mature accelerated windowed system can be quite attractive *cough*apple*cough*

If Windows went the same way I don't think I'd be disappointed.
