Answer 1

It is already supported in Windows 10 latest build (build 14951), used like this:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Windows/System32
$ notepad.exe
$ ipconfig.exe | grep IPv4 | cut -d: -f2
$ ls -la | findstr.exe foo.txt
$ cmd.exe /c dir

There is a ticket about it in their Github page with some hacks you can use meanwhile.

Answer 2

It appears at this time , the cbwin project is our best bet. I just started running into these same issues with trying to use vagrant from Bash on Windows , and my vagrant install ran into issues that required kernel support (currently lacking in Bash on Windows).
