I had to give up windows for one of my developers due to the hassles of dealing with windows and cygwin-isms, not because of any problems with gcc. the windows problems I ran into (lack of case sensitivity, badly handled symlinks, file.exe == file) might not even be applicable to you. certainly cygwin doesn't self-destruct or anything like that. -- Aaron J.
