It was a witty comment and it really involves the windows kernel. In
any case, please do all you can so that your Vista team contacts read
this (c/o Corinna Vinschen)

I know CreateProcess call should have worked.
Yes, it should have, at least, in older windows versions. But vista has
had some sort of security elevation issues that causes process creation
problems.
I am not in that team to give you information on what has changed in
Vista compared to XP. All I can say is that I would like to see the
product fixed and am willing to offer help.
PS: Some Vista users mentioned to me that Cygwin does not work and
hence I am involved to make sure we can work together to make it work.
If any dev would like to work with Vista dev team to get the product
ready soon, please let me know.

There have been discussions lately, precisely on process spawning on
Cygwin. It appears to be a serious "security" bug on Vista. For
details, read the thread started by Corinna Vinschen (senior cygwin
developer) on:

Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Carlo
