I read that one too. I was basically looking for a clear advantage of WSA over an emulator and haven't seen one yet. I don't know the tech stuff but my guess is that WSA is basically just another emulator anyway. It's early days yet so maybe later MS will allow access to Google Play store. Till then I'll stick to the emulator that allows me to run a favourite app I am anxious to keep (LDPlayer/Lollipop). It has a few wrinkles in that some of the functions don't work but I can live with that. When WSA finally arrives, it'll be interesting to sideload the SDK for this app and see if/how it works.
I've noticed that Android emulators come and go. It's probably difficult to implement one that doesn't break when Microsoft makes some security enhancement or so-called feature. With WSA you'll be assured of having the same emulator in the years ahead.
Similarly, I don't know anyone who is using Windows subsystem for Linux, and it has been available for years. Saves money on VM software, anyway.
