Context:

A while ago, Microsoft launched WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux.
This tool allows windows users to use "bash on Windows"
It's important that Windows users know how to work on Bash terminal because it facilitates them to (a) more easily switch to (cheaper) VMs in the cloud, and (b) I perceive Linux terminal to be a bit more advanced/customizable.

Deliverables:

Please delete reference to Cygwin and add the use of WSL as an alternative to the Windows Command prompt
It's important that we say: WSL unifies the command prompt, and everyone should learn that instead of sticking to the Windows command prompt.

adding @Fernando-Iscar for assigning team members to this - request comes from LIS/IT and I more than endorse it :)
