>And the POSIX subsystem?

Dunno about "subsystem". NT kernel has always been posix compliant. That's why things like (godsend) CygWin work -- they just recompiled the unix shell (+ core tools) on NT. And all current Windows postWin95 are NT.

I am midst salvaging a major project with 0 resources courtesy of NT's posix compliance -- aka CygWin. So, no, MS didn't kill posix compliance. TBH, I doubt anyone in senior mgt is even aware what it means, let alone have the mojo to lead a rewrite of the kernel to remove it.

One quiet, but quietly major, triumph for the engineers.
