Was wondering with major changes to the base distro of Windows Server 8/2012 is anyone running compatibility tests on the platform and if so what observed results were? Will or Does Cygwin run on Windows Server 8/2012? I have seen some comments about difficulties with Cygwin on Windows 8 desktop but have not heard much about Server Edition. Trying to determine if Cygwin latest release is an option to run Unix/Posix Products on Windows Server 8/2012
Are there any efforts to make 64bit Releases under consideration? The reason for the question is it does not make sense to have a 64 bit Server with a 32 bit emulator for POSIX running any major products on any Server Operating System Product. This is like having Porsche running with a small VW Engine under the hood. Yes it is hopped up and can run fast. But it is not going to run like the turbo charged Porsche. So why pay the price of a Porsche when you really are running a VW? Regards, Cary Cary D.
