POSIX specifies behaviour of Unix-like systems. MS Windows doesn't
care about POSIX and Microsoft never said that it wanted to be
POSIX-compatible.
Don't confuse this with NT's POSIX subsystem. This is a separate OS
running on top of the same NT kernel in parallel to MS Windows. While
this is nominally a complete POSIX system, it used to be lacking some
stuff that is usually considered essential by Unix hackers, but not
specified or (officially) optional in POSIX. Also Microsoft's support
for this is wavering, e.g. it is not supported on XP.
