Visual Studio 2017 Linux development with C++

I was looking around how to use plain Makefiles with VIsual Studio

and bumped into a demo of driving compilation and debugging on Linux from Windows Visual Studio.  So intriguing I had to share...

I see the possibility of Windows Visual Studio  debugging the VM while it runs 

inside Windows Subsystem For Linux** displaying its graphical windows in a Windows xclient.  

Great when only a single machine will do, like multi-platform coding while drinking daiquiris on a Caribbean beach.
