It's a better version which has discoverable, current API apps, that don't kill your battery and all update at the same time thanks to an app store.
Honestly, I think if they would just buy Nox (https://www.bignox.com/) and bake it into Windows 10/S as a side channel in the Windows store they would start to control the PC narrative again.
I'm currently on a slick Dell XPS 13, using the linux subsystem _and_ android apps through NOX without issue. This is also my dev machine and I get 9 hours consistently.
As to what they'll fix/implement when. I only have my opinion which is - Microsoft has been chasing this dragon for sometime and they love to redefine and confuse terms as they go.
This link is the root of my confirmation bias though -> https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/142649/microsoft...
