@bschmoll that was basically my experience as well, although i first tried the Debian install. I eventually found this article that just led me to execute bash in a cmd window, and it worked.
The symlinks in the OP's gist are very helpful; now I'm trying to figure out how to get knife and kitchen to work. The error i get is:
bash: /mnt/c/opscode/chefdk/bin/kitchen: C:/opscode/chefdk/embedded/bin/ruby.exe: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
So i think i have to set a new ruby PATH? I'm not very good at this kind of thing - i get it, but i tend to not know where to look.
