"Microsoft Interix 2.2 is the easiest way for customers to take advantage of
their previous investments in UNIX-based legacy applications as they move to
the Windows® operating system. Interix provides a powerful, high-performance
environment in which to easily run UNIX applications and scripts on the
Window NT® and Windows 2000 operating systems, enabling customers to take
advantage of the many benefits of the Windows platform while still
maintaining their UNIX-based legacy applications."

This is just plain silly.  Not because they are giving the ability to run
unix apps on windows, but because they describe it as being a "powerful,
high-performance environment...to maintain their unix-based *legacy*
applications".
