That, BTW, was not something which Microsoft "innovated".  MSFT bought out 
Interix to get the technology.  They needed it in order to convert HotMail 
from FreeBSD to W2k.  For 99 bucks it may be a good deal for someone who has 
to run Windows.

Their after-action report on the conversion of the back end of HotMail from 
Solaris running on Sun machines to Windows on Wintel will be interesting, if 
it ever comes out.
