Defenestrate your computer! I object against defenestration of my computer: I find windows very handy as long as they are not capitalized. There are two ways to defenestrate your computer: throw it out the window, or throw windows out of the computer. Anyway, from what one hears, Cygwin is a great missionary for free operating systems: it gets people hooked on free software running at a quarter of the speed I believe you, but the point is, he doesn't have to _keep_ using Cygwin. He can move to GNU/Linux.
