Microsoft Windows '''Services for UNIX''' (SFU) is a package which provides a [[Unix]] compliant environment on [[Microsoft Windows]] computers. It provides both a ''subsystem'', named [[Interix]] and a set of tools. [[Microsoft]] does not intend to produce any further versions of the product and plans to discontinue support for it [http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,2180,1855248,00.asp] because it is being integrated as part of the regular OS distribution[http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/forum/tm.aspx?m=5623].

[[Interix]] is not an emulation of a [[Unix]] kernel, but rather an implementation of an ''environment subsystem'' running within the Windows kernel. This improves performance compared with the emulation used by [[Cygwin]].
The '''Big 12 Conference''' is a [[list of college athletic conferences|college athletic conference]] of twelve schools located in the central [[United States]]. It is a member of the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s Division I for all sports, and Division I-A for football.
SFU contains:
The conference was formed on [[February 25]], [[1994]], when the former [[Big Eight Conference]] merged with four [[Texas]] schools that had been members of the [[Southwest Conference]], which had just disbanded. Athletic events in the conference began in the fall of 1996.
* Over 350 [[Unix]] utilities such as vi, ksh, csh, ls, cat, awk, grep, etc.
* [[GCC]] 3.3 compiler, includes and libraries
* A cc-like wrapper for [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] command-line C/C++ compiler
* [[GDB]] debugger
* [[Network File System|NFS]] server and client
* A pcnfsd daemon
* [[X Window]] tools and libraries
* Tools for making NFS mountpoints appear as Windows shares, and vice-versa (''gateway'' services)
* An [[NIS]] server capability linked with Active Directory (AD)
* Some Windows/Unix authentication information synchronization tools
SFU does not contain (but binaries are available for a separate installation[http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/warehouse.htm]):

Although [[X Window]] client libraries and applications are provided, SFU does not contain a native [[X server]]. A number of third party X servers can be used including [[WRQ]]'s [[Reflection X]] or [[Hummingbird]]'s [[Exceed]]. In addition, StarNet provides a free [http://www.starnet.com/xwin32LX/get_xwin32LX.htm Win32 X Server] designed specifically for local X applications on Windows. Several [[Free software|free software]] X11 Server implementations are available from [[X/Cygwin]], [http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming Xming] and [http://www.pexus.com/ X-Deep/32].
