The worst of both worlds! The Windows kernel and the Linux UI!
I kid; I kid. Looks fun.

I'm glad to see this work getting done.. and I hope in means native docker for linux and windows containers native... though, I also have no interest in running windows containers either... it would be nice to see the option. Not sure if this effort will bear fruit to such extent in Azure, but I can't help but think if it reaches compatible enough for docker linux containers, that Azure will get a very compelling docker story.
Are you by any chance a fan of minimalism?
Windows desktop by default comes with almost no features at all – be it about window management, file management, network connectivity (shares) or anything else. Personally I find using a plain Windows desktop an exercise in frustration for that.
And yes, I'm a bit of a fan of minimalism. I find that managing the apps I use the most, and navigating between open app instances to be easier in windows than anything else... the windows taskbar + start are great, though I prefer the win7 start over win10's, and didn't like win8's at all *(used classic shell).
I don't like the "rest" of windows as much as mac, but the base desktop is imho great... if windows integrated a common/shared menu like mac and unity, it'd be about the only thing I'd like to see added/changed.
I'd also love to see something closer to iterm2 ported to windows and linux... most of the alternatives I've used aren't as good imho. I use conemu in windows, and haven't found a console I really like in linux yet.
I installed it for my family members ( not at all knowledgeable people in terms of computers etc ) and they all have gotten along with it very well.
But yes, elementary does the "good defaults are impirtant" very well.
Personally I use i3 90% of the time and use many KDE applications. KDiff, Dolphin and Gwenview are my go to for me, well that and ranger the console file manager.
