Windows Unix Subsystem finally catches up to Wine

,----[ Quote ]
| This is just some interesting reading you guys might enjoy. It seems, the
| Unix subsystem will give you the ability to create a mixed application able
| to call Win32 and Unix functionality. In effect PSX becomes like wineserver
| and you have to wrap your win32 libs as posix libraries. (sound familure).
