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.

When I wrote this review I was going by the technical aspects of SFU. This is in no way an Anti MS review and I do think that MS did pour alot of time and did some good work with this product. If you are looking to Migrate then yes I would invest in SFU, but those of you that wish to run KDE and GNOME and a variety of other Linux apps then go Cygwim. Microsoft support for this product is great and with some of the issues that I had with this app they were a tremendous help. But they made it clear, this is not Cygwin. It is not intended to offer the same functionality as Cygwin. SFU is intended for ystem migration and porting of Applications, point-blank-period. I would suggest this app for migraters because of the price $99.00 gets you unlimited support, GNU Pro from Red Hat is expensive costing hundreds of dollars.
