   The ironic thing is that the original Windows NT design was meant to be   
   portable across different architectures. Versions for Alpha and Itanic did   
   ship, but in the end all the non-x86 ports failed in the marketplace. And   
   not due to lack of popularity of those architectures, either.

   The path of least resistance from this point on is to rework the Windows   
   “personality” on top of the Linux kernel. WSL2 can be considered an   
   initial step along this path.
