Really just an English problem. Read it as it is a subsystem by Windows for Linux.

But yeah, LSW would've been more clear. Plus, it's almost LSD.

Getting DOS within Linux would be pretty interesting to play with and may get my dad a step closer to abandon windows.

There is DOSBox but idk how well that works

I think it makes more sense to read that it's a "Windows Subsystem for (running) Linux (applications/programs)".

Maybe it's some marketing thing? Like their feature MUST start with Windows™ regardless of getting confusing as hell, it may also help not techie people who make decisions and want to still use a Windows™ solution suggested by a techie
