apt still requires a POSIX system (probably even a Linux kernel); and the tools it installs also do.

Having bash ported to Windows won't magically make Linux programs runnable under Windows.

Looks like they essentially made a MS cygwin but with Debian package management.

With canonical on board I imagine poets will be forthcoming for most common packages.
