For me, Cygwin provides a nice easy linux emulation complimenting my
large set of laptop windows applications, which for me is the point.
For Linux, I log into a massive linux server where my production systems
reside and get unlimited storage and free maintanance. I haven't even
explored it, but if cygwin could provide also provide a seamless
connection to my linux server like a mounted file system, that would be
ideal. Maybe it does already with ssl? I haven't tried yet. Guess I
should google on it For that reason, I dont find Linux useful on my
desktop anymore. Great job guys.

Hi,
I am eager to know the need for cygwin if emulators like VirtualBox,
Bochs IA-32 Emulator , QEMU, Vmware, Hyper-V, XenServer are able to
provide the linux in windows ?
Huh. Fancy that. You're right. There's no need for Cygwin anymore.
Time to shut down the project. Everybody gather up your stuff and go
home now. Chris, can you hit the switch for the web site?
Sorry, I just couldn't resist. ;-)
