[blt] FW: [ale] Take a look at a new M$ EULA

[cshobe at softhome.net (Casey Allen Shobe)]

"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".
