NT had a fairly robust POSIX layer, too, for a while. Enough to get POSIX certified for the checkbox driven PHBs.

- davidgerard 11y agoNo, that layer was famously WeirdIX - it was a literally unusable box-ticking exercise. They later bought Interix, who created the foundations of Windows Services For Unix, which was a much better and actually usable Unixlike layer, running directly as an NT subsystem, at the same level as Win32. (This is as distinct from Cygwin, which supplies a GNU layer on top of Win32.)
