Windows Services for Unix 3.5 review

Monday 5 July 2004, 3:36 AM

Free UNIX utilities and scripting under Windows!


I can run native Unix scripts on my Windows machine. And it is free! If they can add X Windows server onto it, then I'll say "That is one of the best additions to Microsoft Windows!". I really like Windows. I really like Unix shells and scripting. Thanks to Microsoft for putting them together and providing it for free.
