Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications Scripting
Administrators familiar with UNIX environments will feel at home working with Interix because both the Korn and C shells are available, and both behave exactly as they would in UNIX. Windows Server 2012 UNIX Integration also supports the single-rooted file system through these shells, which negates the need to convert scripts to support drive letters. The single-rooted file system allows for a great deal of functionality, allowing scripts written for UNIX to more natively port over to a Windows environment.
