It's fascinating to me that Cygwin and now this Uwin thing emulate (is that the right word?) Unix in a Windows environment. Is there much call for this sort of thing? Or is it merely for people who love Unix, but are compelled to use Windows because of corporate standards?

If you had a piece of Unix software you wanted to run, you would never go the Cygwin/Uwin route in production, would you?

I'd love to know why this software was ever invented, really. Seriously.
