What x86-64-specific applications are you talking about? The vast majority of applications compile and run both on x86 and x86-64 Linux, and plenty of other architectures as well, for that matter. If anything, you're still more likely to find apps that work on x86 but not on x86-64, rather than the other way round. So chances are, your app will compile and run on Cygwin. > (though it should lead to > loss in relative productivity approximately on a quarter because of worse > Windows architecture). What? Do you mean because of the different APIs on Windows? Well, yes, that would require extra work, although quantifying that as a quarter a seems rather arbitrary.
