| 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.
