For some reason I had to use tinyos in virtualbox once, but the usb support was basicly broken with windows host/linux guest. And installing linux can be a barrier, so yes, I think we should have cygwin support. And it turned out it was easy to port the toolchain to cygwin. The other reason I wanted to use the atmel binaries is that it was compiled with mingw, without cygwin.dll, so it's way faster. But since it turned out it's not an option, so I must done the cygwin packages anyway. It's done already, download url at github: https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main/issues/293
