OS X is closest to the BSDs in terms of userland and kernel APIs, 
whereas Cygwin mostly emulates Linux, except where Win32 leaks through. 
  There are plenty of differences between them that can justify testing 
under both environments:

- vast dynamic linkage, networking, and ACL/EA differences
- /Users, /System, /Library vs /home, /sbin, /lib
- BSD find, locate, etc. vs GNU findutils
- bsdtar vs GNU tar
- no /proc in OS X
- /dev/clipboard vs pbcopy/pbpaste
- strace vs dtrace
- /etc files, SAM and AD vs Open Directory
- launchd vs Windows Services
