I've not used bash for windows, so I don't really know whats available for it. Cygwin is a product that has been around for a very long time so it's mature, and has a great package management system, and a very large selection of packages to include xwindows apps, kde, gnome etc. It's just what I've been using for the past 10 years or more when I am forced to use a Widows PC.
