I don't doubt what you say about speed on Cygwin or the fact Cygwin is only 32-bit. But Nathann still makes valid points. I produce software which runs on Unix and Linux, but I never claim it works on Windows, despite the fact I'm 99.999% sure it would compile on a virtual machine running Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, SCO or any Unix or Unix-like system.
