What you say is correct. I think your answer would have been appropriate if someone asked about Sage not running on VMS, HP-UX, AIX, tru64, IRIX, DOS etc. But I think you should elaborate a bit more since the question was about Cygwin. The truth is a lot of people have put a lot of effort into this. Mike Hansen is a name that immediately comes to my mind, as I know he was working very hard on that, at the same time I was working on the Solaris port. I think we all believed it would be done "soon". I would not have been surprised if the Cygwin port was completed before the Solaris port, as there were more working on that. But I believe that there have been others since then working on a Cygwin port. So while the statement: "Because people haven't done the work to make it happen" Is correct, I feel it is inappropriate to not to elaborate a bit.
