BTW, you're probably aware of this but you can bring the behavior of the
two more into line by setting a GPO. Change "Default owner for objects
created by members of the Administrators group" to "Object creator"
instead of "Administrators group". Files created in both Cygwin and
Windows will then be owned by the user account and not the
Administrators group. Unless of course that's what you want.
