As many of you may remember I did a review of Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 (SFU) a few months ago. I remember being frustrated with that release because it seemed to me that all Microsoft did was throw something together just to be able to say "Hey look, we have this". I thought, since Microsoft released version 3.5, I would revisit and see what changes were done with it. I downloaded the beta version a while back and from the beta I was very impressed with the improvements that Microsoft made. Being a beta version it was buggy and some things just didnt quite work. I finally got the final version of the OpenBSD-based SFU 3.5 and this release makes dynamic leaps and bounds over previous releases of this software package. I am glad to see a lot more work was put into this release.

Tasty review, and the screenshots were a nice touch (although some shots of fvwm running on a Windows desktop would have been really cool).
I find it interesting that you were able to integrate with just about every version of Unix alive except for OS X. This begs the question, do you think that this is Interix' fault or is it Apple's fault? And the follow up, how well does OS X integrate with all of the other Unices out there (really well I would imagine)?
