Had they called it "UNIX services for Windows" people might have had a clue what they meant ;-)

Now you know what "intellectual property" was compromised by the GNU GPL, was the Microsoft ports of GCC and friends.


Think Cygwin, but more expensive.

Go reread the paper on migrating hotmail to Windows, these guys were missing tools like "cron", so installed an earlier version of this product.

Or as MS say...

"Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 also includes more than 300 UNIX utilities and tools that behave exactly as they would on UNIX systems, plus a software development kit (SDK) that supports over 1900 UNIX APIs and migration tools such as make, rcs, yacc, lex, cc, c89, nm, strip, gbd, as well as the gcc, g++, and g77 compilers."
