15+ years ago Microsoft shipped a UNIX subsystem for Windows NT/2k.

It blew my mind at the time, but it was kind of a pain and I didn't stick with it. I don't remember why.

I guess this is about same thing, only its Linux instead of some other sort of UNIX.

The article also reminded me of this. I didn't use it much because Cygwin was a little less painful.
