We hope to eventually bundle Windows Julia with mintty, a much nicer terminal experience (used by Cygwin and MSYS2) than the default console in Windows. You can run Julia inside mintty right now, but if you are using Cygwin or MSYS2 there are some issues with the package manager not working with the Cygwin/MSYS2 version of git. This problem should get fixed by switching from command-line git to libgit2, but that is stalled waiting for the author of the bindings to respond and look at it.
