At the heart of SFU is the Interix subsystem, built on technology which Microsoft acquired in 1999 from Softway Systems and released as Microsoft Interix 2.2.
Default terminal in SFU is not that great but you can install Midnight Commander (version mc 4.6.0) using precompiled binaries from SFU (I did it in old fashined way using binary packages, but probably a better was to do this is is to use package install).
For UNIX, and especially Linux, administrators more comfortable with the bash shell, a current version compiled for SFU is available from the Interop Systems Tools Warehouse.

 INTEGRATING WINDOWS AND UNIX - Microsoft Services for UNIX 3.0, Part 2
Last week, we took a quick look at the latest incarnation of Microsoft Services for UNIX and we strongly suggested that this tool set is well worth the investment when managing mixed environments.
UNIX administrators' investment in system scripts pays off as they can be directly applied to a mixed Windows and UNIX environment.
Shipped with SFU are standard UNIX development environment tools including rcs, lex, yacc, and cc -- plus a full set of system libraries and X11 libraries.

It is aimed at companies with mixed Windows and Unix environments wishing to have better integration between Windows and Unix systems, and at those looking to migrate Unix scripts and applications from a Unix to a Windows platform.
SFU 3.0 ($99 list per seat or server) has a suite of client and server products that might be run on both desktops and servers.

 [No title]
Windows Services for UNIX could be the answer, allowing you to run UNIX applications on Windows servers, and develop for both platforms from Visual Studio.
SFU’s support for NFS is good, with a client that includes a local data cache to increase speed, and a server that exports CD drives and NTFS storage (you can’t use the NFS server to export FAT or FAT32 storage as it is closely linked to the NTFS security model).
You can even use SFU to turn on case-sensitive file and directory naming in Windows, making sure that exported Windows file systems are compatible with UNIX – and the mount command SFU adds to Windows is finally case sensitive in the latest release, making it easier to connect to UNIX resources.

 EHS Company - - Product Review: Windows Services for UNIX v2.0 -
In the end, all these factors add up to give Windows Services for Unix 2.0 a grade of "better" when compared with Windows NT Services for Unix 1.0, but it does not yet qualify as the "best" solution for administrators looking to integrate their Windows and Unix network services.
At the core of Windows Services for Unix 2.0 is the User Name Mapping service, which maps Unix user and group accounts to their Windows equivalents, and which is used by the NFS server and gateway components for file-system ACL (access-control list) mapping.
The real meat of Windows Services for Unix 2.0 is the included NFS server component, which lets Windows NT and 2000 servers publish their FAT, CD-ROM and NTFS file systems as NFS shares.

 Windows services for Unix? - Short-Media Forums
Unix is not vulnerable in these ways, so admins are demanding the ability to hook DBs on Unix servers to workstations that run other O\Ss-- otherwise, they will stick with what they are moving toward and use other than Windows and other than.NET.
Short form\ Cliff's Notes-- Unix (and derivative O\Ss like BSD and Linux) has better and more stable servers usually, and admins are demanding that more and more as budgets get tight for new hardware expenses as software costs go through the roof with Microsoft licensing changes.
Microsoft is having to go to Unix some to get security balancing, and one use for this would be on perimiter web servers that are Unix based for security also.

SFU 3.5 will continue to be supported until 2011 and will have extended support until 2014.
SFU is a much cleaner implementation that Cygwin, and it sits directly on top of the NT kernel rather than bringing its own layer of abstraction to the party.
Services for Linux on the other hand is useful and used in quite a number of places, and Microsoft might as well throw it in there, if nothing else just to make it easier to install.
