Windows Everyone knows what Microsoft does by now. What some people do not know is that Microsoft releases a system integration software named Windows services for UNIX.

Re: Too few tools?

"Btw. it seems there is some confusion with SFU 3.0, Interix 2 and POSIX. SFU 3.0 includes Interix 3.0 which is based upon POSIX."

yes, but it is not based on the POSIX subsytem. that's been removed in Win2003, because it was weak and useless. kind of funny that they added the POSIX subsystem so they could be tested for C2 certification, but the system isn't C2 compliant unless the POSIX subsytem was disabled.

yes, the article started the confusion by talking mostly about the Interix tools rather than dealing with the networking aspect(the actual services). after having tried out SFU 2 and 3, all I can say is this review chose to critique the most insignificant part, considering the basic tools themselves are readily available from numerous sources. I seriously doubt anyone would purchase this package just to use ls.exe.
