Windows
^^^^^^^
`Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about>`_
is available in Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later (build 1607+).
There is the possibility to install and run modern Linux Operating Systems:
* `Ubuntu 16.04 <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6>`_
* `openSUSE Leap 42 <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/opensuse-leap-42/9njvjts82tjx>`_
* `SLES 12 <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/suse-linux-enterprise-server-12/9p32mwbh6cns>`_
All common tools like bash, git, and SSH will work out of the box.
Although Git `download page <https://git-scm.com/downloads>`_ provides Windows
installation binary, most OpenStack development tools (e.g., git-review)
unfortunately will not work well on Windows environment.
