A while back I wrote an opinion piece about how OS vendors to developers a
disservice by getting them to write their apps to platform-specific APIs:
Freeing the Developer from OS Vendor Shackles

I think the posix subsystem in NT was originally meant to qualify Windows for
government procurement. It's for much the same reason that Apple developed A/UX.
But now that lots of people in the government are using Windows, they're using
Win32 apps and not running stuff in posix anymore. So I guess those regulations
seem to have fallen by the wayside.
