If there is any possibility for us to support this request to Microsoft,
then let us now. I  use Cygwin  1.5.25-15 and have the same problem with
"the console windows popping up" in W7 RC. Really annoying. Hope they will
correct it before final release. I look forward to hearing about this
problem solved or a workaround. Meanwhile I consider reverting to Vista
which doesn't have this bug.
