New Nothing special about windows shell
You run cmd.exe, I run bash.exe. What's the difference?

New Re: Nothing special about windows shell
If I go to company X and am stuck with Windows, I can put my console tools in my home directory and still use them.

You misunderstand - I agree that he UNIX tools are great, and Windows would be better with such things already present, but I'm convinced that painted-on functionality is a bad idea.

New I was trying to say
that cmd.exe is as "pinted on" as bash.exe, Cygwin's default shell.

There are other shells for windows as well, although the names escape me at the moment.
