I purposefully said "and licensing" though, because the Windows license swamps the hardware costs.
It can be true about the SSD and RAM costs but it's not the same kind of sandbox too (Wine vs VM). But about the licensing costs I can't understand it. Unless you are a cygwin developer that needs to use cygwin mandatory I can't see the purpose on using a solution that involves a Virtual Machine running a Cygwin installation inside a Windows Guest in a Mac as Host Machine. Doesn't it has a lot more sense to install linux on the Virtual Machine? No licensing costs at all. Unless I'm missing something and cygwin includes something that is not available on linux.
