Just a heads up, The Subsystem for Unix Applications (formerly interix) ships on top of Vista, Server 2k8, and Windows 7. It's a bit more than just just posix.1. And (like Linux) once you get it up and running with it's utilities it's not half bad. It beats cygwin.

Wish I could study the kanji at work. Although that would really not be doing work like I am supposed to be doing. But a little kanji break now and then would be nice.
There is finally stuff to REALLY do again here. Instead of little bugfixes. Only 10 more days until I am back to the wonderfulness of class. No, there is no sarcasm there. I like class.
