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.

Hi Brian,

I have been trying the same thing attempting to build Automotive Grade
Linux from Linux for Windows subsystem.
We have many adopter of AGL who also receive Windows PC from their IT
department. While VM work, they impose a serious limitation on memory
and CPU usage.
We all know that Linux For Windows a very green SW but, I did not
expected to have so much pain to upgrade to the current Windows10 build
(version 1703). Deactivating the Antivirus with the help of IT, was
painful and slow.

Now that I run 1703, it kind of give hope that it may work, but it does not.
I see random errors on variable expansion with an error (disk I/O
error). Looks like if the file system was not very happy.

My IT PC does not let me run Windows pre build, so I do not know if
progress is coming soon or not.

Likely will do a test when the next build of Win10 is coming to me.
In the mean time, I will stick to my Linux Machine which works fine.

But it would be nice to have it working for many corporation.
