I used to have a universal subscription to MSDN (until I switched
departments) and I was able to test Windows Services for Unix and the
(at the time) separate Interix subsystem.
They do what they are supposed to do, but cygwin does a whole lot more.
I found the cygwin project to be actively developed and far more robust
than the other offerings.
I have no idea what the newest versions of WSfU offer, but I highly
doubt it has the day-to-day usefulness of cygwin.

The interix subsystem isn't as flexible as cygwin IMHO.
The useful bits are the NFS utilities which do not have source &
password synchronization which has source for *nix (not GPL).
