Running the FSL package from FMRIB

[K Morris SVHM]

I wish to install the new version of FSL (see 
http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/).
According to their website:-
>
> "Alternatively, FSL can run natively under Windows XP once you have

> Therefore it is necessary, if you don't already have Cygwin installed,

Is this problem still current (was it ever?). Can I install Vsn 1.5.21-1 
and run FSL without a problem?.
