Cygwin is a collection of tools originally developed by Cygnus Solutions to allow versions of Microsoft Windows to behave in ways familiar to Unix users. Programs supported by Cygwin work well on Windows NT, and some run acceptably on Windows 9x. While Cygwin provides header files and libraries that make it possible to recompile or to port Unix applications for use on computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems, it does not make binaries compatible with such computers running without Cygwin.Cygwin is currently maintained by employees of Red Hat, NetApp and others. Christopher Faylor is currently the manager of the Cygwin development team. Released under the GNU General Public License, Cygwin is free software.   [edit]

    Simplicity and Ease
    osafw

    Cygwin will always be one of the classic Unix emulations on Windows. Its ease and simplicity itself makes it one of the best ways of getting access to the rich UNIX tols on Windows.
