I use Windows2000 and Cygwin everyday for work.  I have not rebooted my 
system in over 3 months.  Windows2000 is much more stable than Win95/98 
and Cygwin is very useful indeed.  Having said that, I am a big Debian 
Linux fan and it is much faster that the Windows/Cygwin combo.  It's 
horses for courses.  If most of your apps are unix based then Linux is 
the way to go, if not then Windows/Cygwin may be suitable.
