To clarify, it sounds like what Microsoft has added to Windows 10 is a Linux ABI.

This has been done before with other x86 OSes: FreeBSD has had 32-bit ABI compatibility for at least a decade (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu.html), and the "lx branded zone" for Solaris has it as well (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/817-1592/gchhy/index.ht...).

I think FreeBSD linuxulator has 64bit support too since they introduced Docker support last year.

That was only for 32 bit containers. FreeBSD 11 should have 64-bit linux support though.
