One of the Interix guys gave a talk at my local Unix group in 1997 or so. He said they had a support contract with Microsoft. Once Windows NT came out, Microsoft stopped answering calls for about 6 months. Because NT was going to win, right? After 6 months, their technical contacts were sheepishly apologetic... On a personal note, I did my main FreeRADIUS development on XP with Interix for many years. It was... adequate as a Unix replacement. Not spectacular, but adequate. When that system died, I replaced it with an OSX system. Which was enormously better.
