Apparently Interix/SFU was the result of a temporary lapse on the part of 
Microsoft. In those days, it was possible to get documentation from them 
for how to write your own “personality” on top of the NT kernel, which 
Interix did.

Then Microsoft decided it didn’t want this knowledge becoming publicly 
known. So they acquired Interix to stop it spreading further.
