Cygwin by default uses the "bash" shell and runs it in the "Command
Prompt" window for windows.  You can change the shell to something
else if you like, by editing the cygwin.bat file.  You can change the
window it runs in by using either xterm (also requires X Windows to be
installed and running) or by using rxvt, which doesn't require X
Windows.  'rxvt' is a great solution and you will probably think it
works very much like solaris.

Remember that cygwin is not solaris (or any other type of unix) -- it
is its own thing and has its own unique feel to it (though it may be
similar to unix).
