Hi guys,

Just a though here ... Microsoft seems to be abandoning the linuxulator 
approach for their "WSL" support on Windows 10 in favor of a more 
hypervisor-like support:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/announcing-wsl-2/

If I read this correctly, it may be possible for us to run a FreeBSD 
kernel, perhaps it would be comparable as porting FreeBSD to yet another 
hypervisor. Just speculation since no code has been released yet, but 
surely something to keep an eye on.

Cheers,

Pedro.
