As one of the other comments said the Windows POSIX subsystem model has
some limitations. I would like to bring CoLinux to the point that it
ties in as well to Windows and ReactOS as SFU does.

We are looking at that currently. ReactOS's TCP/IP implemetation is
lacking so running XFree/Cygwin is not a option atm. Once we get TCP/IP
going than any Xserver for Windows should do but I would like to bring
libw11 in to ReactOS and implement a Xserver as a core OS componate.
LibW11 if you dont know about it sits on top of User32/GDI and
translates all of the XLib calls to Win32 calls. I we can make a
faster/lighter Xserver reusing this code.
Thanks
Steven
