Wayne,

Now, now.

It's true Cygwin has improved immensely in the past six years or so, 
but it was useful even back then. I started using it in 1997 (beginning 
about a week after I first had to use Windows for development) and it 
was indispensable, even if not entirely mature. I tried MKS, but even 
if you ignored its very slow terminal / console I/O, I could not 
conceivably deemed it worth what it costs when Cygwin (whose name was 
different then, I think) was available free.
