Well, thank you for showing How to run Cygwin on Vista; _technicallly_
you arent a 3pp (third Party Pervert) just by pacakging a live Cygwin
install - thats been done for ages for Irssi (the irc client) - i'll
mirror that video though, so that it isnt just on Google's servers
(they tend to have problems with large files)

but Thank You Much for the work!
