In the past I have used VMWare to make a Linux virtual machine for my Yocto Project based image builds and application development.  We are starting to get Windows 10 laptops so I am evaluating doing my builds using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) by building a poky/morty image.  Overall it seems to be working.  I've had an issue that I've worked through and other issues that I'm not quite sure what is going on.

There's obviously a lot of stuff that the WSL does not support (yet) 
which is often filesystems or API limitations. I ran into a list of 
things that they officially marked as known good/bad, but I can't find 
it right now. If it shows up again, I'll forward it. For the time being, 
I think you might be better off looking at CROPS [1] which is the 
"offical" recommendation to buld on Windows/OSX, as far as I can see.
