Same here. It's like everyone forgot there was such a thing as SFU/SUA. I found it much more pleasant to work with than Cygwin.

Well, it's not like Microsoft made much of an effort to remind people. It was discontinued as a separate project after about Windows XP. It continued to be part of Windows Server[1], but AFAIK, it was no longer present in the client versions.

[1] at least until 2008 or 2008 R2, I didn't check later versions.


last it was avaiable in windows 8 enterprise


I stand corrected.

Thanks for the info!
