If there is any possibility for us to support this request to Microsoft, then let us now. I use Cygwin 1.5.25-15 and have the same problem with "the console windows popping up" in W7 RC. Really annoying. Hope they will correct it before final release. I look forward to hearing about this problem solved or a workaround. Meanwhile I consider reverting to Vista which doesn't have this bug. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Windows-7-RC1-and-Cygwin-1.7-tp23566592p23765787.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
