This contains a full blown Unix subsystem on top of the NT microkernel, so this runs parallel to Win32 and not on top of it as some kind of emulation layer (this has been formerly known as Interix, but the new version is a reasonable improvement over the last version). This is not free but is a product, but its quite affordable. This "Microsoft Unix" is state of the art and has shared libs, a lot of GNU software on it and much more.
