Security hole?


Microsoft is adding the Linux command line to Windows 10. They are using Ubuntu. Could this be a Linux security risk?

Hi...

Are you talking about influence from Microsoft in how the code is written (in later versions?) If so, I doubt it. Being open source, many eyes can take a look at what's going on beneath the hood. I imagine that anything that stood out would be challenged.

Regards...
