And if you read the page carefully, it's 16-bit support only
on the 32-bit version of the OS. The subsystem should be missing
on the 64-bit version of Windows 10 (or other Windows for that
matter).

Tested on 15063.0 (Creator Edition)

After install, the 32-bit OS doesn't have NTVDM enabled.
The 64-bit OS has no NTVDM option at all.

When a 16-bit test program is executed, the 32-bit OS
presents a dialog asking if you'd like NTVDM turned on.
The 64-bit delivers "Too bad, so sad".

Once NTVDM is enabled on 32-bit (no reboot), the 16-bit
program works under 32-bit.

I didn't think any laws of physics had been repealed.
Microsoft on previous occasions has said, fixing the case
on the right (16 on 64) is "too hard" and they won't be doing it.
