Article is from 2006. SFU was officially dropped by Microsoft circa 2009. Last version I could find doesn't even list Vista/7 as supported OSes. WTH?

It's mentioned in the article: "Microsoft is transitioning the product line again, integrating it directly into Windows, with the Posix component being renamed to Subsystem for Unix Applications (SUA)."

It's included in Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise editions, you can enable it from "Windows Features" dialog.

SFU was replaced with SUA in Vista. SUA supports more of the POSIX standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX
