I have actually done this. I don't recommend it. The end user will most
likely be confused
as to which utility is being used. He will type
     man ls
and get the documentation for the cygwin ls irrespective of what ls he
actually runs. Also, the SFU has no
compiler so you can't build programs which means you cannot partake of the
open-source movement.

The SFU stuff is based on the POSIX subsystem in NT/2000 and therefore, you
cannot easily build a program to work with it. (From the POSIX subsystem
you cannot access the win32 API's).

I have also installed the Interix product (again from Microsoft -- yes,
they have two Unix environments), another POSIX subsystem thing that is
more complete than SFU (NFS Servers and clients).

Is there something specific out of the SFU you wanted?

I haven't tried this but it should be generally possible.

Absolutely.  You should be sure that like-named utilities and services in
the two systems don't get used interchangeably.  In other words, to use
Cygwin utilities (like ls, less, gcc, etc), make sure that the MS tools
are nowhere in the user's path.  The reverse should be true when using the
MS tools.  Also, if there are conflicting services in use for both
packages,
its best to make sure the services that go with the tools in use are active
and the others are not.
