Agreed.  One of the first things I do is to install cygwin also.  I used
to install OpenSSH for Windows so I could could connect to the Windows
machine over SSH and start a VNC session.  I suppose terminal server has
obviated the need for that these days, but being able to use SCP and
other integrated tools is pretty nice.  I think Microsoft should just
drop their OS, start building on a *nix kernel and adopt bash as the
shell.  It seems to have worked for Apple.
