I object against defenestration of my computer: I find windows very
handy as long as they are not capitalized.

Anyway, from what one hears, Cygwin is a great missionary for free

quarter of the speed (when we are talking about heavily I/O bound
applications like version control systems).  And it teaches people to
hate CRLF line endings, too.
