This would run into /proc, which can create a lot of damage depending on what you do with the files. The find should either be started from /cygdrive/c/wherever_cygwin_is_installed and/or use the '-xdev' option. In order to process files with spaces in their names correctly, you'd also need to use '-print0' on the find and '-0' for xargs. That still doesn't fix inherited ACL I think, so you'd need something else to fix those (preferably before doing the chown).
