How much windows programming have you done?  :-)

Perhaps the statement "Cygwin is not Unix" could be more accurately 
expanded to "Cygwin is a close to a Unix-like environment that is possible 
under Microsoft Windows, but no more so."

As a reasonably seasoned programmer on both, I find the Cygwin developers' 
(of which I am not one) success in inveigling windows rather impressive.

(Not to mention their patience on the mailing lists, which I personally 
find remarkably impressive.)

And if that is not enough, consider the following quote (source unknown):

"You can't let people get away with shoddy service.  It starts with 
overcooked meat and ends with Microsoft."

E. (Trying to help put things in perspective.)
