Well, so far, it looks like Vista will imply a "CJN" since Corinna seems
insistent on punishing people who use Vista by making Cygwin hard to use
there despite Microsoft's laudable efforts in making sure that we are
all snug and secure.

It seems to me that if Cygwin doesn't want to wither up and blow away,
someone should be working hard on getting it to work correctly on Vista!
I am not a Vista programmer but I really don't understand what all of
the fuss is about.  Microsoft has released many versions of Windows
since Windows 1.0 and they are constantly working on improving their OS.
If Cygwin can't adapt to Microsoft innovation then maybe we should all
either be moving to Linux or MinGW.

I hope this will be accepted in the spirit in which it was intended.
