None of the machines I have tested has Cygwin installed -- there are
no sources/build files that I've seen for the Windows port so I don't
know if its indeed using Cygwin linked in to the binaries...
However, it can't be that hard to get the OS name and version number
-- these are standard Windows API calls...
There's also a CPU count reporting issue as well... all the SMP boxes
I have report as single-CPU systems.

Probably because "Cygwin" is the "OS Name" that Cygwin is reporting to
Ganglia over POSIX or libmetrics or whatever that Ganglia uses. (I
don't believe that Cygwin apps can easily tell what version of Windows
they're running on, but I might be wrong here.)
Also, just out of curiousity, does Ganglia work on Windows via MSYS/
MinGW?
