I am running OK on Windows 8 release preview,
although 'cygcheck -c -v -s' does say:
Windows 8 (not yet supported!) Professional N Ver 6.2 Build 8400
Setup.exe (version 2.774) allowed me to choose a mirror site without problem.
The only problem I have encountered is the device files for
partitions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2 etc.) are
sometimes the wrong size or not even present. I don't know if
this is a Windows 8 only problem with cygwin.
