So what OS you're going to get when you run an application under this? So if I run this:

    node -e 'console.log(require("os").type())'
What it's going to print?

Depends if the node is a Windows executable or a Linux binary.

So if I install Node as a Linux binary. Can I access it in Windows "environment" too?

Does that mean I can do "apt-get install nginx" from their new "bash" terminal app? Does that then run under port 80 in Windows? Since no VM is involved.

I'm still a bit confused.

Yes, they demonstrated that localhost is the same localhost under both environments.
