How much windows programming have you done? :-)
Perhaps the statement "Cygwin is not Unix" could be more accurately
expanded to "Cygwin is a close to a Unix-like environment that is possible
under Microsoft Windows, but no more so."
As a reasonably seasoned programmer on both, I find the Cygwin developers'
(of which I am not one) success in inveigling windows rather impressive.
(Not to mention their patience on the mailing lists, which I personally
find remarkably impressive.)
And if that is not enough, consider the following quote (source unknown):
"You can't let people get away with shoddy service. It starts with
overcooked meat and ends with Microsoft."
