Microsoft has released WSL Containers as a generally available feature, letting users run Linux containers on Windows via the wsl --update command. The update adds a new wslc.exe command-line tool (aliased as container.exe), a WSL Containers API for Windows apps, and previously-missing features like container restarts, file copying, health checks, and network commands.
Microsoft is expanding GitHub Copilot's coding agent to manage more of the software development pipeline, including setting up Windows development environments, running linters and tests, and opening pull requests for human review. GitHub also added agent support for Windows Subsystem for Linux, helping teams that build on Windows but test or deploy on Linux. Microsoft Distinguished Engineer David Fowler said on X that 'typing code is absolutely over,' pointing to a shift in what developers actually spend time doing.
