- kasabali 13y agoYou know Microsoft had a POSIX subsystem in Windows not long ago, right? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754351.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754351.aspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem
- duaneb 13y agoThat's a very minimal definition of POSIX.
- astrodust 13y agoIf they could make Windows actually POSIX compliant and have a proper shell it would be a massive step forward for the platform. It's not that Windows is different, but that Windows is just plain broken and there's heaps of hacks on top of that to try and deal with the awful design. PowerShell is an attempt to fix CMD which is an attempt to fix batch files and the feeble CPM inspired command prompt.
