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.
It would be about as difficult as live-migrating a working Ubuntu box to CentOS, replacing binaries one by one until you’re suddenly running a CentOS userland on top of the kernel Ubuntu shipped.
Difficult, but do-able.
Get to work, Jerry. :)
