If only it had a proper UNIX subsystem, instead of something to make DoD happy.

That was Microsoft's biggest mistake regarding GNU/Linux adoption.

Windows Server 2003 with Interix was my daily driver for a few years. That was my "peak Windows" moment. It had a fast UI, could run software meant for XP, and I could compile a ton of POSIX-targeted software.

I always thought that this was vaporware, something that was listed in books and white papers but never seen in the wild. Good that it eventually arrived.

I just used cygwin.

Glad to know, I missed on Interix.
