What’s new for WSL in Windows 10 version 1903? [blogs.msdn.microsoft.com]

The next Windows update is coming soon and we’re bringing exciting new updates to WSL with it! These include accessing the Linux file system from Windows, and improvements to how you manage and configure your distros in the command line.

In the past, creating and changing Linux files from Windows resulted in losing files or corrupting data. Making this possible has been a highly requested and long anticipated feature. We’re proud to announce you can now easily access all the files in your Linux distros from Windows.

Actually, this is good news. One of those been there done that, grew weary of multiple steps to make each speak. I still have content in either OS that is unique that needs to migrate back and forth for various reasons. Something more reliable, and "native" will be a godsend.
