It would be fun to call it Windows Subsystem for Linux!
which would be the right use of the term. WSL was originally called LXSS = linux subsystem. As I understand, lawyers stepped in soon after.
They already did the same thing 25 years ago with "Windows Services for UNIX": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX
Which is also backwards.
The two terms seem semantically identical (i.e., ambiguous and therefore meaningless) to me.
