Agreed, it seems a bit inconsistent, and yet I can think of at least two reasons a user might want an old Windows and a new Cygwin: - user is aiming for as Unixy an experience as possible with minimal Windows interaction, hence always wants latest and greatest Cygwin and hopes never to disturb the Windows OS underneath. - user is happy to upgrade Cygwin because of the price, but would rather not upgrade Windows, because of the price. stephan();
