I am curious to see how Microsoft execute on the implementation of the user model for this: would user accounts used while running bash (or other utilities) correspond to actual Windows accounts (and integrate modes like "Run as administrator" with "sudo" calls from within the shell) or whether accounts for these binaries would exist separately (the demo video linked in one of the comments shows everything running as 'root' but it is a preview after all). I guess we will find out.
