Ahhh. That's probably the source of the confusion right there. The
first thing I do with a new Windows box is install Emacs and cygwin.
Since my 4 previous boxes were 4 different shades of proprietary Unix,
this happens to exactly match the first steps I did with any of them
(install Emacs, gcc, gnumake, and friends). Since I generally can find
binary distributions for Windows rather than have to build everything
from sources, setup is actually quite a bit *easier* for Windows than
it has been in the past for Unix boxes. :-)

So essentially I have a Unix box that happens to use Windows as the
window manager. It crashes way more than a typical Unix box, but it
plays way more games too. Fair trade in my book. :-)
