Editorial Review of Cygwin
Outside of the Windows desktop, much of the world's software is written to conform to a Unix-based standard called POSIX. While users of Vista Enterprise and Ultimate editions can, in theory, add a Microsoft version of POSIX compliance known as Subsystem for Unix -based Applications to their PCs, our experiences with this feature yielded more frustration that fruit. A better way to add POSIX to any XP or Vista installation is to run Cygwin.
This little freebie installs in seconds, and supports a variety of popular Linux-based programs that have been rebuilt specifically to run with Cygwin. While Cygwin won't give you full support for all Linux software on your Windows PC, it will open the door to some basic Linux features.
