Here's a question: back around '96 or '97, M$ announced that they'd made NT POSIX compatible, including a Korn shell*. Is that anywhere inside Windows, still? If so, I'd think it would allow a lot....

I'm pretty sure that was gutted some time around NT4 or NT5 (aka win2000). NT was originally designed as a true microkernel architecture, where 'Windows' (the win32 API) was a personality layer of top of the native kernel, and alternate personalities included Posix and OS/2. Various aspects of this were gutted as they got in the way of decent performance, anyways it was only Posix.1, which wasn't very useful except as a bullet point on a feature list.
