NT shipped w/ a POSIX subsystem. Later, Microsoft acquired Interix (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interix), a more fully-featured POSIX subsystem. I have fond memories, in the late 1990's, of running GNU tools on NT under Interix.

It was discontinued as a separate project after about Windows XP. It continued to be part of Windows Server[1], but AFAIK, it was no longer present in the client versions. [1] at least until 2008 or 2008 R2, I didn't check later versions.
