Again I stress if we are to point where we are emulating *nix, flip the
table. Have them install *nix and use wine, win4lin or vmware for their
windows applications.
I dont devalue cygwin, but I see more as a tool for *nix folks having to
suffer on Windows for some reason. Not as tool to help aide someone
transition from windows to *nix. That is of course my opinion, but I
would rather see us focus on applications that run more natively and are
still free software. (Especially ones that also run on *nix)
