Re: GCC 3.4.0 build failed on interix3


At the risk of continuing an off-topic argument, I do want to make one comment:

    Finally, IMO, the assertion that Cygwin has helped to sell many copies
    of Windows is, IMO, extremely arguable.  I have a very hard time
    believing that anyone has bought a copy of Windows because they know
    they can get Cygwin on it.

Though your statement is true, it's not the full story.  There are a lot
of people who prefer Windows, but wouldn't have been able to use it if
Cygwin or similar tools were not available.  So they *are* examples of
additional sales for Windows.
