Haha!  I do not *personally* want to use Cygwin!  But I've been told
that it's the only reasonable chance we have at a non-VM one-click
Windows option for now that doesn't use a server.   And I'm motivated
to help make that happen.  (You can see oodles of threads discussing
things like Mingw and MSVC toolchain and goodness knows what else by
searching this group and sage-windows.)  Cygwin remains the only
option for this, though Emil's LiveCD seems like a very viable option
for many uses (e.g., in a lab).

Of course, the cloud is the "right" answer, but one isn't *always*
near free wireless...
