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.
