Was originally called: How NOT To Implement the POSIX Standard, Featuring Windows NT ...

There's a lot of half assed computing in the world, but one of the larger cases of when Microsoft implemented the POSIX standard. Originally created to help increase standards compatibility, Microsoft's implementation of the POSIX.1 specification is legendary in just how utter trash it is.
Stepping once again into the aegis of NCommander in Realtime, we're once again going to dig out what it takes to build POSIX mode applications for Windows, what exactly the POSIX subsystem is, and see just how much Microsoft half-baked their implementation.
Strap yourself ins folks, this one is going to be a wild ride.
