Actually this was a big joke at the time. NT's POSIX support was a last minute add-on and absolute crap at that. They needed to claim support since it was a requirement for certain government bids, but it never actually worked. Aside from the TCP/IP stack, the whole NT/BSD thing is mostly urban legend. Too bad actually, BSD is far more stable.
