Interesting but I don't see much point. Yes it may be technically interesting but from an end user perspective why use this over cygwin. I imagine any graphical application won't work. If they did make it support SDL, gtk, etc., I'd be interested. Granted on a new machine I might install it instead of cygwin if it was easier to install.

They've written a wrapper that converts linux syscalls to windows syscalls...

Native bash, rsync, etc... without cygwin.

Well, this will make backing up my wife's machine a bit easier now that it'll be running sshd.
