- Blood was about 2025 AI, but Microsoft also made WSL open source
- The company knows how valuable the community of its participants has been
- Microsoft wants users to “engage in a problem resolution and learn together as a community”.
Microsoft has its annual software engineer and web developer conference, Microsoft Blood 2025 is a formally open Windows sub system for Linux.
Most of the components are now open sources, with the source code available on the gut hub, in addition to a few elements tied directly from Windows.
Through the Open Source WSL, Microsoft has opened it for a direct partnership, feature development and Big Fixes by the broader community, after acknowledging that the community has already played a significant role before its open source.

Microsoft’s Perry Bola explained, “As the WSL community behind increased, WSL gained more features like GPU support, graphical applications support (via WSLG) and support for System D.” “Finally, it became clear that to maintain the growing community and feature requests, the WSL had to move fast, and ship separately from Windows.”
Bolly shared some of the WSL history, including separation from Windows in 2021 when it was divided by Microsoft Store.
“The WSL could never have been without its own community today. Even without access to the source code of the WSL, people have been successful in major partnerships that are now due to the WSL.”
Despite the importance of becoming the WSL’s open source, Chief Communications Officer Frank X -Shaw wrote only a brief note about it in the conference’s book of News. In a squeeze: “This WSL facilitates mutual cooperation among users, which enables them to engage in the solution of the problem and learn as a community.”
Surprisingly, Microsoft has issued basic announcements in blood around the company, along with numerous updates to the company’s coagulated agents, to enhance the production capacity in 365 apps.
