"SFU is intended for ystem migration and porting of Applications, point-blank-period."

I disagree. it's not the way MS has operated in the past when dealing with a rival in the server market. this is phase I - embrace. it's an integration product, "point-blank-period". you chose to focus on the applications side of it, but it's fairly obvious that porting commandline apps and scripts is not going to help MS win against *nix. they integrate the network services first, so they can eventually move people away from what they see as "legacy" services.
