Microsoft to Stop Releasing Services for Unix

lilrowdy18 writes "According to a recent article, Microsoft will stop releasing any new versions of Services for Unix. SFU 3.5 will continue to be supported until 2011 and will have extended support until 2014. From what the article hints at, Microsoft wants Unix interoperability integrated into the OS. Microsoft says that this integration couldn't be done with past architectures."

    Management will know it's been discontinued, and the enterprise installation is at the mercy of whatever derivative Microsoft's Marketing department wants to release.
