Sure, there’s Cygwin. They’ve done a good job. But if I’m going to do it, I want to do it right. I want real integration with Windows. I want windowing integration, and file system integration. I want to have the same users in both places. I want real telnet and and ftp. I want them all to run perfectly, and I want them to be as *nixy as *nix itself.
Well, thanks to Microsoft, this is possible now. Microsoft has updated their Windows Services for Unix package. With this package comes a Perl Interpreter, Korn and Bash, Bind, FTP and Sendmail. Even GCC and all the libraries. [via Anil Dash]
Thank you, Microsoft.
