Is it possible to create similar thing with

Services for Unix is nothing new. We've been using it for several years mainly for it's NFS and NIS features. The Interix feature you are talking about has been available also but as a seperate product. I've never used it (I use Cygwin instead) so I can't comment on what is new in the beta.

BTW, anyone can download the beta. It's available publicly at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp

It will be interesting to see how stable these services for UNIX are on Windows though... ;-)

Well, from experience the NFS service and the NIS sync work fine. We've had no real issues after initial configuration. As for the Interix, that would depend on the quality of the application that was ported to it.
