Very interesting and great to hear, though I would prefer zsh or fish. Didn't they fix their command window (terminal) too?

Recently, MS is making all the right moves technically, but they've also doubled down on the spying, pushing W10 without consent, and still in bed with NSA, so they are still out of consideration for me.

A shame really. :(

From what I'm reading it's the entirety of Ubuntu, including apt. Use bash once to apt-get install zsh and you're done.

Yep, they changed the title on me, and now that I've read several of the articles here, I see it is a whole/minimal ubuntu userland.
