Whatever you look at will be just slightly different then what you expect.

Depends on how far you want to take it and what exactly do you think of
as a "POSIX environment".  Or to say it more pointedly, how different
from Linux are you comfortable with?

It gets you a build and execution environment, but it's a userspace
layer on top of the NT kernel, so once you get to a low enough level
this will start to show through.

A wrapper, shim or compatibility library for something that expects one perticular
ABI with the purpose of using something else supporting another ABI
under the hood.
