New Huh?
Does this means that without Cygwin, there are bad consequences and the fact I use windows I deserve them, and that I am not allowed to ease my pain with Cygwin, or something else?

Either way, I will not be requesting a Cygwin install on all the servers. SFU possibly, but not Cygwin. If SFU ever actually finishes installing for me to test on my laptop, that is. Just got past "Updating security information". It had been on that screen for about an hour. I thought it was hung but there was disk activity.

It kicked out a message concerning "something" failing to complete during the install and that I should contact my support or vendor. It is now "Rolling back".

Just kill me now.

You know this laptop is trashed.

New I am not sure it's wise
Cygwin is one shared DLL + some registry and a lot of files.

SFU, if I know anything about MS Way, is a bunch of device drivers and who knows what else.

I think Cygwing is safer by far.

New BTW,
if you decide to install, add

CYGWIN=tty

to your system environment. It enables enhanced support for tty device in Cygwin. Without it, Cygwin's emacs is quite unusable. With it some old windows programs break. Take your pick.
