So Microsoft is doing an ad campaign for the latest revision of their Windows Services for Unix. (Which makes a lot less sense, in my opinion, than calling it UNIX Services for Windows, since that's what it is...) Also, I'm HOPING this is the latest revision. If it's the revision I used a few years ago, it's ultra-krappy, but at least it came with a Korn shell.
"Kill me now"
"Over my dead body"
"... fuking bastards."
"Oh, where the fuk is the latest copy of my resume?"

soooo... basically "hey, you picked up all these skills using a possibly Free OS, now you can pay money to use them in an environment that may or may not work as well as your old setup" |

Yep. A little homework reveals that yes indeed, this is not the SFU 2.0 that I am used to, but 3.5. It looks like they've added nothing new and have simply improved what was there already.
Updates: In addition to the Korn shell, they now give you a C shell1!!11! YAY! I guess they realized that giving us honest-to-gosh BASH would be duplicating Cygwin's (excellent) efforts.
As would be SSH, apparently -- Microsoft would still like to give you Telnet, though. Use it in good health!!1!1
