Has anyone tried installing and running Iris on the new "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" environment which arrived in August as part of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/commandline/wsl/about).

I am an Ubuntu user who from time-to-time requires MS Word - I use a VM which for many reasons is not ideal.  Being able to run my bash/python scripts across both Linux and Windows machines is quite attractive.

Are there any known/foreseeable drawbacks in running python/numpy/iris on Bash for Windows?  Is CPU and disk IO performanace comparable with standard Ubuntu Linux?

TIA

Scott
