And there were also the days of Windows NT when Windows tried to be
a Posix-compatible OS (because that was required to get US Government
jobs). So I expected that there would be at least an API for Posix
shared memory, a current Windows API, and maybe 2 or 3 backward compatible
APIs.
POSIX support in Windows is limited. It's not in XP or Server 2003:

and there is no (or very limited) interaction with Win-32 programs and
the Win-32 API:

The situation appears better in Windows-7, though:

with support for some UNIX system calls:

Support is too fragmented for general use, I would have thought.
