No MS endorsed bash? (Score 1)

From http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/howtobuy/defa ult.asp:

The GPL utility source code for Services for UNIX 3.0 contains the base utilities diff, sdiff, bc, dc, cpio, gzip, gunzip, gawk, patch, csplit, nl, strings, rpm, and SDK utilities/libraries ld.so, gcc, gdb, g++, g77, gasp, objcopy, ld, as, ar, nm, size, strip, ci, co, diff3 rcs, rlog, and ident.

Does that mean that MS does not want the bash on Windows desktops? I wonder how a unix system could be useful without using any unix shell (not even CSH or someting is included). How easy is it to port a serious app without having the shell available? Well, I guess for anything like that we'll have to keep using cygwin, which has all these features. I wonder why cygwin didn't win the award. If you want to port something to windows, cygwin is far more useful (though it doesn't include an nfs server as far as I know). Did you see that rpm is included? Does that meant that there will be rpms from microsoft soon? ;-) On another note: Will MS now have to pay royalties to them for each CPU where windows runs on?? ;-)
