Well, if you just need to compile Win32 apps, I suggest to try MinGW, or 
better yet, Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE, much easier to setup (specially 
latter) than Cygwin, but using these tools doesn't enable some 
functionalty found in *nix systems.

Of course, if you need good POSIX/*nix thingies, or libraries commonly 
found under *nix systems, Cygwin is choice for you.
