They ARE available... They way it integrates with the OS is by relacig the standard shell, so the fact that other shells are around for Windows means you just have to write a shell of your own as well as a browser. So does this mean that IE for Linux would include its own window manager... ?
The built in posix compliance is very basic - there is a product called interix which turns nt into Unix - I'm not sure if they got the official Unix cert from Open yet, but I remember that they were going to. Dunno if it actually works though...

When I was testingout decss when it came out, I found that my copy of "Lock stock & 2 smoking barrels" was not encrypted. I have no idea why, it was shop-bought like the rest of my dvds, it just wasn't encrypted. And, btw, I didn't immediately run off a few a few thousand bootlegs, so I guess encrypting the rest of the discs had little point.
