No, but it does implement the kernel syscall interface and an ELF loader. Therefore, there is no reason, in principle, why you could not build a CentOS userland on top of the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
I have not tried it, but there is a tool which will let you switch to any other userspace published on the Docker Hub (which would include Fedora and CentOS): https://github.com/RoliSoft/WSL-Distribution-Switcher
I imagine (but have no actual idea) that the next evolution of this will simply be making Linux-based Docker containers work (without using hyperv as Docker does now).
