Here's another:    (Imagine Michael Moore reading this aloud:)

I'm using Cygwin for remote sshd/vnc access to a four-armed 
triple-jointed servopneumatic robotic system which could fatally stab or 
crush someone if they were standing in the wrong place during a software 
glitch.  It can also demolish the ceiling and rip itself up by the 
anchor bolts.  When the lease is up, de-installation will be easy.

For safety we decided that a water-filled moat around the machine was 
cheaper than fixing the software. Besides, the bug budget and insurance 
carrier allow one catastrophic flail/kill failure every 4 years, and 
we're only operating it for 3.

Count me one happy Cygwin user.

Next contract: medical monitoring devices.
