You can see the server shows **RUNNING THE SERVER AS ROOT IS HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED.** :D

And you can see "dlopen". :D

Is it true? It's true! In the new Insider Preview Build 14316, microsoft added Windows subsystem for Linux. We can run Linux program in Windows! :D :D :D

PS: When I run the 32bit server it will shows "bash: ./mpsvrrel32: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error". Maybe MS will fix it in next version.

Yes, this was announced sometime near the April fools day so I was about to think it was a joke. But @VRocker was quite excited about this and it turns out it's true indeed.

So, we need to watch the video and follow the steps or there's an application out for it?

If you don't know how to run insider builds, this probably isn't suitable for you.

ahh gotcha. Windows update :P
I just meant that whether I need to watch the full video demonstrating how to install/use it or just a software which I can download. I never played the video so I didn't know about it either.

You should run Windows Insider Preview. It may not suitable for you because preview version has many bugs. Wait the finally release.(Or you can try to use preview, don't ask me for any help.)
