Integrating UNIX and Windows
2000 Unix has always been a dirty word in Redmond. Microsoft's spurned love affair
with Unix through its Xenix product gave way to the NT days when the company tried to
pretend Unix didn't exist. It took several iterations of Windows before Microsoft
officially acknowledged Unix's presence with the release of Services for Unix. Even then,
this add-on pack for NT 4.x appeared to be as a means for accessing an outmoded legacy
system rather than as a peer-to-peer connectivity tool.
