David Korn's UWIN has provided this for over a year - SVR4 on NT plus the traditional UNIX command line utilities. This is UNIX within NT - no special boot. The whole point of it is to provide a pathway for UNIX applications to migrate to NT. Benefits to Msft are obvious but to companies developing products... 1. Can now build/debug/test with the more advanced IDE's available under Windows. 2. Freedom to integrate/use Msft and other 3rd party Windows technology. 3. One desktop; single boot. 4. UNIX Developers can still use the old familiar tools they were used too: vi, awk, sed, ... For application developers the future could see a blur of SVR4,POSIX,MFC,Win32 as just interfaces available on all OS's. Not OS specific as it is today.
