Also, someone called Interix a POS, which I can't find on
http://cygwin.com/acronyms, but I guess is derogatory (I originally
though "POsix Simulation" or something, to tell the truth). Is there a
list of reasons of the drawbacks of Interix somewhere?
Um, yeah, that would be derogatory. :-)
Canonical list? I doubt it, but...
- Not open source
- Bad support for Windows pipes
...and mainly, trying to do 'make' on a large project consistently
caused my shell to hang, with the result that it was Just Plain
Unusable. IOW, it was absolutely useless to me, therefore IMO a POS. :-)
FYI: http://www.acronymdb.com/acronym/POS <-- yup, derogatory... (alas,
google works better when you already know what it stands for ;-))
