Well, I, for one, will welcome a GitHub for Windows interface that can use native git commands. I've helped other developers install GitHub for Windows, and essentially you need to install the entire MSys Linux emulator for Windows in order to get ssh, key generation, and git. It's clumbsy and difficult. Now, the installation is fixed, and perhaps some of the other aspects can be smoothed.
It would also be great if they could build a version of Ruby that actually works the way the rest of them (Ruby on Linux, Ruby on OS X, Ruby on BSD, Ruby on Heroku, Ruby on Amazon, pretty much "Ruby on Anything"). The author of "Command Line Applications in Ruby" bemoaned that it was impossible to even get his basic examples running on Windows, because Windows Is Not Unix. I understand the demo was done with the original Windows console. I can't believe they are not bringing out a new console along with bash. (For windows users who've just been using what came with Windows and find this a bit confusing, the shell, like bash, is like a command interpreter, COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE, while the console is the window ornamentation and all the features of how the window interacts with the OS. In Windows, you paste into the console with Alt-Spacebar, E, P and are often restricted to a fixed console size, like 25x80. Replacement window consoles have been available for a long time now and are a lot more fun to work with.)
