    It's an elephant in the room because your original post completely
    seems
    to ignore any possible problems with the POSIX layer, while the POSIX
    layer is where most of the problems on Cygwin come from.


You mean there were bugs in the way posix was implemented in Cygwin?
Well, it's not really bugs. The problem is that some things just don't have a Windows equivalent. fork() is a good example, that just doesn't exist on Windows.
