Pardon me?
"Cygwin is: 
a collection of tools which provide a Linux look and feel environment
for Windows.

a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API layer providing
substantial Linux API functionality."

Cygwin does not have any user account management, no file system, no 
file system permissions, etc. So when did Cygwin become an operating 
system in an operating system?
